MANUAL TRANSMISSION OPERATION
(IF EQUIPPED)
Using the clutch
Vehicles equipped with a manual transmission have a
starter interlock that prevents cranking the engine
unless the clutch pedal is fully depressed.
When starting a vehicle with a manual transmission,
you must:
1. Put gearshift in N
(Neutral).
2. Hold down brake
pedal.
3. Depress clutch
pedal.
4. Turn ignition to
position 5 (START) to
start the engine, let the
engine idle for a few
seconds, then shift into
gear.
5. Release the brake
pedal.
6. Release clutch slowly
while pressing down
slowly on the
accelerator pedal.
• Do not drive with your foot resting on the clutch
pedal and do not use the clutch to hold your
vehicle at a standstill while waiting on a hill.
These actions will seriously reduce clutch life.
