MANUAL TRANSMISSION
Do not drive with your hand resting on the
gearshift lever or use the gearshift lever to
hang or support objects.
Note: This can cause damage to the
transmission not covered by the vehicle
warranty.
Using the Clutch
Note: Failure to fully depress the clutch
pedal to the floor may cause increased shift
efforts, prematurely wear 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 could nullify a
clutch warranty claim.
E157512
Manual transmission vehicles have a
starter interlock that prevents cranking the
engine unless the clutch pedal is fully
depressed.
Starting Your Vehicle
WARNING: Use a floor mat
designed to fit the footwell of your
vehicle that does not obstruct the pedal
area. Failure to follow this instruction
could result in the loss of control of your
vehicle, personal injury or death.
WARNING: Secure the floor mat
to both retention devices so that it
cannot slip out of position and interfere
with the pedals. Failure to follow this
instruction could result in the loss of
control of your vehicle, personal injury or
death.
