²If the gearshift lever is moved into the downshift (-) position more
than once in rapid succession, the transmission will only allow a
downshift into thenext lowergear to prevent possible engine and/or
transmission damage. Once the vehicle reaches below a specified entry
speed for the next lower gear, the transmission will allow another
downshift to occur if selected by the driver.
MANUAL TRANSMISSION OPERATION (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, you must:
1. Make sure the parking brake is
fully set.
2. Depress the clutch pedal fully.
3. Put the gearshift lever in N
(Neutral).
