depressed to the floor. Before starting the engine, make sure the
vehicle is in Neutral and the parking brake is set.
[GF08900(ALL)12/95]
After the engine starts, allow it to idle for a few seconds. Then,
hold your right foot on the brake pedal and release the parking
brake. With the clutch pedal depressed to the floor with your
left foot, move the gearshift into 1 (First) or R (Reverse).

and then slowly release the clutch pedal. (You may need to
press down slowly on the accelerator at the same time that you
release the clutch pedal.)

not use the clutch to hold your vehicle at a standstill while
waiting on a hill. These actions will seriously reduce clutch life.

When the vehicle is stopped and the engine is running, DO
NOT rest your hand on or apply any pressure to gearshift lever
