Manual transmission
Manual transmission is standard
equipment on select models and not
available on all models.

towards the road curb.
This could result in drive wheel slip and
reduced vehicle control. Your vehicle’s ABS

Do not park this vehicle in areas where
combustible materials such as grass, hay or
leaves can come into contact with the hot
exhaust system, as these materials could be
ignited and cause a vehicle fire.
