MANUAL TRANSMISSION (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.
Note: Failure to fully press the clutch pedal to the floor may cause
increased shift efforts, prematurely wear transmission components or
damage the transmission.
Note: 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.
Recommended Shift Speeds
The engine is designed to operate at a minimum of 1250 RPM for
optimal power, fuel economy, and durability. When driving a vehicle
equipped with a manual transmission, do not operate the engine below
1250 RPM while driving with the transmission in any gear (also known as
lugging). This does not apply while starting or idling the engine while
the transmission is in neutral and/or the clutch pedal is pressed. Lugging
the engine below 1250 RPM may result in damage to the vehicle
powertrain, poor fuel economy, poor acceleration, and undesirable noise,
vibration, and harshness. Choose the next lowest gear until a proper
engine RPM is reached.
Note: Do not downshift into 1 (First) when your vehicle is moving faster
than 15 mph (24 km/h). This will damage the clutch.
