After driving through water, press lightly on the brake pedal to ensure that the brakes are functioning normally. Water or mud can make the brake linings slippery, resulting in delayed braking effect. CAUTION! Engine damage will occur if water is drawn into the air cleaner. If the vehicle is driven through water deeper than 9 in (25 cm), water may enter the differential and the transmission. This reduces the oil's lubricating capacity and may shorten the service life of these components. Do not allow the vehicle to stand in water up to the door sills longer than absolutely necessary. This could result in electrical malfunctions. If the engine has been stopped while the car is in water, do not attempt to restart the engine. Have the car towed out of the water. pg. 115 Starting and driving Manual transmission 6-speed manual transmission (option on certain models) Depress the clutch pedal completely when changing gears1 . Remove your foot from the clutch pedal while driving. The shift pattern should be followed. Fifth and sixth gears should be used as often as possible to help improve fuel economy. WARNING! An extra mat on the driver's floor can cause the accelerator pedal and/or the clutch pedal to catch. Check that the movement of these pedals is not impeded. Not more than one protective floor covering may be used at one time. Engaging reverse gear Never engage R while the vehicle is moving. CAUTION! Be careful to avoid inadvertently engaging reverse while moving forward. 1. Clutch interlock The clutch must be fully depressed before you can start your vehicle. If the clutch is not depressed, it will not be possible to start the engine.
