MANUAL TRANSMISSION

Using the Clutch
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 reduces the
life of the clutch and could nullify a clutch
warranty claim.
Note: The engine may not start unless the
intelligent access key is inside your vehicle.

put the gearshift lever in the neutral
(N) position.
3. Start the engine.

5. Release the parking brake, then slowly
release the clutch pedal while slowly
pressing on the accelerator.
During each shift, fully press the clutch
pedal to the floor. Make sure to properly
position the floor mat so it does not
interfere with the full extension of the
clutch pedal.
Recommended Shift Speeds
Note: Do not downshift into first (1) when
your vehicle is moving faster than 15 mph
(24 km/h). This damages the clutch.
