Oil Temperature Gauge
Indicates the temperature of the engineoil.
If it enters the red section, the engine isoverheating. Reduce engine speed as soonas safely possible to allow the engine tocool. If the engine continues to be drivenat high engine speeds with the needle inthe red section, the engine speed reducesautomatically to prevent engine damage.
Turbocharger Boost Gauge
Indicates the added intake pressureprovided by the turbocharger.
Oil Pressure Gauge
Indicates engine oil pressure.
During normal driving, the indicated oilpressure varies with engine speed, thepressure rising as engine speed rises anddropping as engine speed drops.
If the engine oil pressure drops below thenormal range, the oil pressure gaugepointer drops into the red section of thegauge scale and the engine oil pressurewarning lamp in the main instrumentcluster illuminates. Stop the vehicle assoon as safely possible and switch off theengine immediately. Check the oil level andadd oil if needed.

MANUAL TRANSMISSION
Using the Clutch
Note:During each shift, you must fully pressthe clutch pedal to the floor and fullyrelease the accelerator. Failure to followthis may cause increased shift efforts,prematurely wear transmissioncomponents, or cause gear clash or damageto the transmission. Make sure you properlyposition the floor mat so it does not interferewith the full extension of the clutch pedal.
Note:If you attempt to shift when the drivewheels are spinning with a loss of traction,it is possible to cause damage to thetransmission. Do not attempt to shift whenthe drive wheels do not have traction.
Note:Do not drive with your foot resting onthe clutch pedal or use the clutch pedal tohold your vehicle at a standstill whilewaiting on a hill. These actions will reducethe life of the clutch.
Your vehicle has a twin disc clutch. Due tothe high performance of the powertrain, acertain amount of noise from thetransmission is normal.
The manual transmission has a starterinterlock that prevents cranking the engineunless you fully press the clutch pedal.
To start the vehicle:
1.Make sure the parking brake is fully set.
2.Press the clutch pedal to the floor, thenput the transmission in neutral (N).
3.Start the engine, then press the brakepedal and release the parking brake.
4.Move the transmission to position 1 ,then slowly release the clutch pedalwhile slowly pressing on theaccelerator.
5.To reverse, lift up on the reverselockout ring found under the shift knoband move the transmission fully to theleft and forward.
Recommended Shift Speeds forMaximum Fuel Economy
When accelerating, upshift according tothe following chart:
Shift from:
12 mph (19 km/h)1-2
23 mph (37 km/h)2-3
32 mph (51 km/h)3-4
41 mph (66 km/h)4-5
42 mph (67 km/h)5-6
Operating at High Speeds
Your ST vehicle is capable of high speedsand has tires rated for the vehicle’smaximum speed. Remember to drivesafely, obey all traffic laws and onlyoperate your ST vehicle at high speeds atlocations equipped and designed to do sosafely.

Before operating your vehicle at highspeeds:
•Verify correct tire pressures. See Tires(page 19).
•Inspect wheels and tires for wear anddamage. Replace any wheels or tiresthat have damage.
•Do not operate your vehicle at highspeeds with more than two passengersor while carrying cargo.
