Use the E-Lock system only when free-

ing a stuck vehicle. Try the 4LO position
before using the E-Lock system. Never
use the E-Lock system on a slippery
road surface such as snow or ice sur-
face. Using the E-Lock system when
driving in these road conditions may
cause unexpected movement of the ve-
hicle during engine braking, accelerat-
ing or turning, which may result in an
accident and serious personal injury.

CAUTION

After using the E-Lock system, turn the

switch OFF to prevent possible damage
to driveline components from extended
use.

Do not drive over 12 MPH (20 km/h)

when the system is engaged. Doing so
could result in possible damage to the
driveline.

Do not turn on the E-lock system while

the tires are spinning. Doing so could
damage drivetrain components.

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.
