Skipping gears and downshifting into lower
gears at higher vehicle speeds can damage
the engine and clutch systems, Any attempt
to shift into lower gear with clutch pedal
depressed may result damage to the clutch
system. Shifting into lower gear and
releasing the clutch may result in engine
damage.

When descending a hill, be very careful to
downshift one gear at a time to prevent over-
speeding the engine which can cause engine
damage, and/or clutch damage, even if the
clutch pedal is pressed. If transfer case is in
low range the vehicle speeds to cause
engine and clutch damage are significantly
lower.

WARNING!
Do not downshift for additional engine
braking on a slippery surface. The drive
wheels could lose their grip and the vehicle
could skid, causing a collision or personal
injury.
WARNING!

Failure to engage a transfer case position
completely can cause transfer case damage or
loss of power and vehicle control. You could
have a collision. Do not drive the vehicle unless
the transfer case is fully engaged.

Racing the engine or spinning the wheels
may lead to transmission overheating and
failure. Allow the engine to idle with the
transmission in NEUTRAL for at least one
minute after every five rocking-motion
cycles. This will minimize overheating and
reduce the risk of clutch or transmission
failure during prolonged efforts to free a
stuck vehicle.
When “rocking” a stuck vehicle by shifting
between DRIVE/SECOND gear and
REVERSE, do not spin the wheels faster
than 15 mph (24 km/hyfRUGULYHWUDLQ
damage may result.
Revving the engine or spinning the wheels
too fast may lead to transmission over -
heating and failure. It can also damage the
tires. Do not spin the wheels above 30 mph
