Using the Clutch
*
[GF12300(F )01/96]
Make sure the gearshift lever is in the N
(Neutral) position and your right foot is holding
down the brake pedal. Then press the clutch
pedal to the floor with your left foot. Manual
transmission vehicles have a starter interlock
switch. The starter will not crank until the clutch
pedal is fully depressed. Start the engine and
allow it to idle for a few seconds. Move the
gearshift into 1 (First) or R (Reverse).
*
[GF12400(F )01/96]
To move the vehicle, release the clutch slowly
and at the same time press down slowly on the
accelerator so that the vehicle accelerates.
*
[GF12500(F )01/96]
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.
