If necessary, try turning the Traction Control™ system off. This will

allow the wheels to spin, which may help to free your stuck vehicle. For

more information, refer to Traction Control™ in this chapter.

Do not rock the vehicle if the engine is not at normal operating

temperature or damage to the transmission may occur.

Do not rock the vehicle for more than a minute or damage to the

transmission and tires may occur, or the engine may overheat.

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.

4. Press the brake pedal and move the gearshift lever to the desired

gear; 1 (First) or R (Reverse).

5. Release the parking brake, 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.
