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.
