Clutch Pedal (1)
(For manual transaxle).
The clutch pedal is used to disengage the drive to the wheels when starting the engine, stopping or shifting the gearshift lever. Depressing the pedal disengages the clutch.
CAUTION:
Do not drive with your foot resting on
the clutch pedal. It could result in
excessive clutch wear or clutch damage.
Brake Pedal (2)

applied, you should have the brakes

them continuously or resting your
foot on the pedal. This will result in
overheating of the brakes which
could cause unpredictable braking
action, longer stopping distances or
permanent brake damage.
