Console Mount Shift Mount Here's how to operate your manual transmission: FIRST (1): Press the clutch pedal and shift into FIRST (1). Then, slowly let up on the clutch pedal as you press the accelerator pedal. You can shift into FIRST (1) when you're going less than 20 mph (30 km/h). If you've come to a complete stop and it's hard to shift into FIRST (1), put the shift lever in NEUTRAL and let up on the clutch. Press the clutch pedal back down. Then shift into FIRST (1). Your vehicle may be equipped with a tow/haul selector switch. This switch will be located on the floor console or on the side of the shift lever on some models. If your vehicle is equipped with the tow/haul selector switch, you can use this feature to more efficiently tow or haul a heavy load. To select the tow/haul mode, press in on the switch. The Tow/Haul light on the instrument panel cluster will come on. To go back to normal operation, press the switch again. The indicator light on the instrument panel cluster will go out. See "Tow/Haul Mode" in the Index for more information. 2-29
