MANUAL TRANSMISSION OPERATION (IF EQUIPPED)

Using the clutch

The manual transmission has a starter interlock that prevents cranking

the engine unless the clutch pedal is fully depressed.
To start the vehicle:

1. Make sure the parking brake is fully set.
2. Press the clutch pedal to the floor, then put the gearshift lever in the

neutral position.

3. Start the engine, then press the brake pedal and release the parking

brake.

4. Move the gearshift lever to the desired gear, 1 (First) or R

(Reverse), then slowly release the clutch pedal while slowly pressing

on the accelerator.

During each shift, the clutch pedal must be fully depressed to the floor.

Make sure the floor mat is properly positioned so it doesn’t interfere with

the full extension of the clutch pedal.

Failure to fully depress the clutch pedal to the floor may cause

increased shift efforts, prematurely wear transmission

components or damage the transmission.

Do not drive with your foot resting on the clutch pedal or use the clutch

pedal to hold your vehicle at a standstill while waiting on a hill. These

actions will reduce the life of the clutch.
