WARNING

Pay special attention to your surround-
ings when using the clutch interlock
switch. The vehicle will move forward or
backward according to the gear selected.

The clutch interlock (clutch start) switch allows
for starting the engine without depressing the
clutch pedal. This feature helps you restart the
engine if it stops under difficult conditions. (For
example, the engine stops on a steep hill and a
slight movement forward or backward might be
dangerous.)

To use the clutch interlock switch:

1. Set the parking brake.

2. Depress the brake pedal with your right foot.

3. Place your left foot on the brake pedal and

release the parking brake.

4. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.

5. Press and release the clutch interlock

switch. The CANCEL light on the switch will
illuminate.

6. Turn the ignition to the START position to

start the engine and, at the same time, de-
press the accelerator pedal with your right
foot. As the vehicle begins to move, take
your left foot off the brake. Once the engine
has started, the clutch interlock switch
CANCEL light shuts off. Do not use the
interlock switch to start the engine under
normal driving conditions.

The power outlets are for powering electrical
accessories such as cellular telephones.

The power outlet located on the instrument panel
and the power outlet located in the cargo area are
powered directly by the vehicle’s battery.

Open the cap to use a power outlet.
