MANUAL 6-SPEED TRANSMISSION OPERATION
Using the Clutch
Note:During each shift, the clutch pedal must be fully pressed to the
floor and the accelerator fully released. Failure to follow this may cause
increased shift efforts, prematurely wear transmission components, or
cause gear clash or damage to the transmission. Make sure the floor mat
is properly positioned so it does not interfere with the full extension of
the clutch pedal.
Note:If you attempt to shift when the drive wheels are spinning with a
loss of traction, it is possible to cause damage to the transmission. Do
not attempt to shift when the drive wheels do not have traction.
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.
Your vehicle is equipped with a twin disc clutch. Due to the high
performance of the powertrain, a certain amount of noise from the
transmission is normal.
The manual transmission has a starter interlock that prevents cranking
the engine unless the clutch pedal is fully pressed.
To start the vehicle:
1. Make sure the parking brake is fully set.
2. Press the clutch pedal to the floor, then put the transmission selector
lever in positionN.
3. Start the engine, then press the brake pedal and release the parking
brake.
4. Move the transmission selector lever to position1, then slowly release
the clutch pedal while slowly pressing on the accelerator.

Operating at High Speeds

all traffic laws and only operate your ST vehicle at high speeds at
locations equipped and designed to do so safely. Before operating your
vehicle at high speeds:
•Verify correct tire pressures (seeTiresin this supplement).
•Inspect wheels and tires for wear and damage. Replace any damaged
wheels or tires.
•Do not operate your vehicle at high speeds with more than two
passengers or while carrying cargo.
