gearshift lever or use the gearshift lever to

transmission not covered by the vehicle

Using 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.
