MANUAL TRANSMISSION

Using the Clutch
Note: Failure to fully depress 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 and could nullify a
clutch warranty claim.
E157512
Manual transmission vehicles have a
starter interlock that prevents cranking the
engine unless the clutch pedal is fully
depressed.
Starting Your Vehicle
WARNING
Always use floor mats that are
designed to fit the foot well of your
vehicle. Only use floor mats that
leave the pedal area unobstructed. Only
use floor mats that are firmly secured to
retention posts so that they cannot slip out
of position and interfere with the pedals
or impair safe operation of your vehicle in
other ways.
