MANUAL TRANSMISSION
(IF
EQUIPPED)
Using the Clutch
E144954
Manual transmission vehicles have a
starter interlock that prevents cranking the
engine unless the clutch pedal is fully
pressed.
To start the vehicle:
1.
Make sure the parking brake is fully set.
2. Press the clutch pedal to the floor, then
put the gearshift lever in the neutral
position.
3. Start the engine.
4. Press the brake pedal and move the
gearshift lever to the desired gear, first
(1) or reverse (R).
5. Release the parking brake, then slowly
release the clutch pedal while slowly
pressing on the accelerator.
During each shift, the clutch pedal must
be fully pressed to the floor. Make sure the
floor mat is properly positioned so it does
not interfere with the full extension of the
clutch pedal.
Note:
Failure to fully press the clutch pedal
to the floor may cause increased shift
efforts, prematurely wear the 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 this may not be
covered by your warranty.
Note:
The engine may not start unless the
intelligent access key is inside your vehicle.
Recommended Shift Speeds
Note:
Do not downshift into first (1) when
your vehicle is moving faster than 15 mph
(24 km/h). This will damage the clutch.
