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 the shift selector in the 1 position to

move forward, or R to move backward.

4. Place your left foot on the brake pedal and

release the parking brake.

5. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
6. Press and release the clutch interlock

switch. The CANCEL light on the switch will

illuminate.

7. 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.
