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.

Manual transmission vehicles have a
starter interlock that prevents cranking the
engine unless the clutch pedal is fully
depressed.
Starting Your Vehicle
WARNING: Make sure the floor mat
is positioned correctly so that it does not
interfere with the full extension of the
clutch pedal.
1.
Make sure the parking brake is fully set
and shift the gearshift lever to the
neutral position.
2. Fully depress the clutch pedal then
start the engine.
