Before starting your vehicle, adjust your seat, adjust both
inside and outside mirrors, and fasten your seat belts.
Manual Transmission — If Equipped
Apply the parking brake, place the gear selector in
NEUTRAL, and press the clutch pedal before starting the
vehicle. This vehicle is equipped with a clutch interlocking
ignition system. It will not start unless the clutch pedal is
pressed to the floor.
Four-Wheel Drive Models Only
In 4L mode, if the vehicle is stalled, the engine will start

allowing the vehicle to start when in 4L without having to
press the clutch pedal. The “4WD Low Indicator Light” will
illuminate when the transfer case has been shifted into this
mode.
Automatic Transmission — If Equipped
Start the vehicle with the gear selector in the PARK position
