MANUAL TRANSMISSION OPERATION (IF EQUIPPED)

Using the clutch

Manual transmission vehicles have a starter interlock that prevents

cranking the engine unless the clutch pedal is fully pressed.

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 pressed 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 press 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 severely reduce the life of the clutch and

could nullify a clutch warranty claim.

Recommended shift speeds

Do not downshift into 1 (First) when your vehicle is moving

faster than 30 mph (48 km/h). This may damage the clutch and/or

transmission.
