Cold weather starting/operating tips

Due to the high-performance design of this vehicle, certain precautions
should be taken when starting and operating the vehicle at temperatures
below 0°F (-18°C):

1. Ensure battery is fully charged.

2. Once engine is started, allow to operate at idle for 10-15 minutes to
allow engine fluids to reach operating temperature

3. Extra care should be taken engaging the clutch for the first few
minutes of driving. Quick engagement of the clutch or throttle should be
avoided.

4. Transmission shift efforts and clutch effort will be higher than normal
due to the viscosity of the fluids being higher at low temperatures.
