Using the Clutch
The clutch should be pressed all the way
to the floor before shifting, then released
slowly. If your vehicle is equipped with an
ignition lock switch, the engine will not
start when starting the engine without
depressing the clutch pedal. (if equipped)
The clutch pedal should always be used
after fully returning to the original posi-
tion. Do not rest your foot on the clutch
pedal while driving. This can cause un-
necessary wear. Do not partially engage
the clutch to hold the car on an incline.
This causes unnecessary wear. Use the
parking brake to hold the car on an
incline. Do not operate the clutch pedal
rapidly and repeatedly.

cause them to overheat and mal-
function. Instead, when you are driv-
ing down a long hill, slow down and
shift to a lower gear. When you do
this, engine braking will help slow
the car.
o Slow down before shifting to a lower
gear. This will help avoid over-rev-
ving the engine, which can cause
damage.
o Slow down when you encounter
cross winds. This gives you much
better control of your car.
o Be sure the car is completely stopped
before you attempt to shift into re-
verse. The transmission can be dam-
aged if you do not. To shift into
reverse, depress the clutch, move
the shift lever to neutral, wait three
seconds, then shift to the reverse
position.
o Exercise extreme caution when driv-
ing on a slippery surface. Be espe-
