the clutch pedal, wait 10 to 15 seconds, then
repeat the “Normal Starting” procedure.
After Starting
The idle speed is controlled automatically and it
will decrease as the engine warms up.
ENGINE BLOCK HEATER — IF
EQUIPPED
The engine block heater warms the engine, and
permits quicker starts in cold weather. Connect
the cord to a standard 110-115 Volt AC electrical
outlet with a grounded, three-wire extension
cord.
The engine block heater must be plugged in at
least one hour to have an adequate warming
effect on the engine.
The engine block heater cord is routed under
the hood on the driver side of the vehicle. It has
a removable cap that is located near the air box.
WARNING!
Remember to disconnect the engine block
heater cord before driving. Damage to the
110-115 Volt electrical cord could cause
electrocution.
MANUAL TRANSMISSION — IF
EQUIPPED
Six-Speed Manual Transmission
WARNING!
You or others could be injured if you leave
the vehicle unattended without having the
parking brake fully applied. The parking
brake should always be applied when the
driver is not in the vehicle, especially on an
incline.
CAUTION!
•
Never drive with your foot resting on the
clutch pedal, or try to hold the vehicle on a
hill with the clutch pedal partially engaged,
as this will cause abnormal wear on the
clutch. Refer to “Electronic Brake Control
System/Hill Start Assist” in “Starting And
Operating” for further information.
•
Failure to press the clutch pedal fully to the
floor may cause increased shift efforts, and
may result in damage to the clutch and
transmission.
•
Do not rest your hand on the shift lever
while driving, as this may result in trans-
mission synchronizer damage.
•
Do not attempt to shift the transmission if
the rear wheels are spinning due to loss of
traction. Damage to the transmission may
occur.
NOTE:
During cold weather, you may experience
increased effort in shifting until the trans-
mission fluid warms up. This is normal.
