OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE

Clutch pedal (1)
Pedal
A clutch pedal is used to disengage the
driving force to the wheels when starting
the engine, stopping, or shifting the gear-
shift lever. Depressing the pedal disen-
gages the clutch.
Do not apply brakes continuously or
rest your foot on the brake pedal.
This will result in overheating of the
brakes which could cause unpredict-
able braking action, longer stopping
distances, or permanent brake dam-
age.
