Driving a manual transmission
(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:
1.
Put the gearshift lever in N
(
Neutral) .
2.
3.
4.
Hold down the brake pedal.
Depress the clutch pedal.
Crank the engine and let it idle
for a few seconds.
•
Put the gearshift in 1 (First) or
R (Reverse) .
5.
Release the clutch slowly while
pressing gradually down on the
accelerator pedal.
•
Do not drive with your foot
resting on the clutch pedal. Do
not use the clutch to hold your
vehicle at a standstill while
waiting on a hill. These actions
may reduce clutch life.
