Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine NOTICE:
Damage to your transmission caused by shifting out of PARK
(P) or
NEUTRAL (N) with the engine racing isn’t covered by
your warranty.
OVERDRIVE (0) - This position is for normal driving. If you need
more power for passing, and you’re:
pedal about halfway down.
- Going less than about 35 mph (56 km/h), push your accelerator
- Going about 35 mph (56 kdh) or more, push the accelerator all
the way down.
You’ll shift down
to the next gear and have more power.
OVERDRIVE (a) should not be used when towing a trailer,
carrying
a heavy load, driving on steep hills, or for off-road
driving. Select
DRIVE (D) when operating the vehicle under any
of these conditions.
0 DRIVE (D) - This is like @, but you never go into Overdrive. You
should
use DRIVE (D) when towing a trailer, carrying a heavy load,
driving on steep
hills, or for off-road driving.
SECOND GEAR (2) - This position gives you more power but lower
fuel economy. You
can use SECOND GEAR (2) on hills. It can help
control your speed as you
go down steep mountain roads, but then you
would also want to use your brakes off and on.
If you manually select
SECOND GEAR (2), the transmission will drive
in second gear. You may use this feature for reducing torque to the rear
wheels when
you are trying to start your vehicle from a stop on
slippery road surfaces.

arking
brake.
2. Move the shift lever into
PARK
(P) position like
this:
Pull the lever
toward you.
Move the
lever up as
far as it will
go.
3. If you have four-wheel drive with a manual transfer case shift lever, be
sure the transfer case is in a drive gear
- not in NEUTRAL (N).
4. Move the key to LOCK.
5. Remove the key and take it with you. If you can walk away from your
vehicle with the
key in your hand, your vehicle is in PARK (P).
Leaving Your Vehicle With the Engine Running
(Automatic Transmission Models Only)
Torque Lock (Automatic Transmission)
If you are parking on a hill and you don’t shift your transmission into PARK
(P) properly, the weight of the vehicle may put too much force on the
parking pawl in the transmission. You may find it difficult to pull the shift

set the parking brake and then shift into
PARK (P) properly before you
leave the driver’s seat.
To find out how, see “Shifting Into PARK (P)” in the
Index.
When you are ready to
drive, move the shift lever out of PARK (P) before
you release the parking brake.
If “torque lock” does occur, you may need to have another vehicle push
yours a little uphill to take some of the pressure from the transmission,
so
you can pull the shift lever out of PARK (P).
Parking Your Vehicle (Manual Transmission
Models Only)
Before you get out of your vehicle, turn off your engine, put your manual
transmission in
REVERSE (R) and firmly apply the parking brake.
If you have four-wheel drive with a manual transfer case shift lever, be sure
your transfer case is in a drive gear. Your vehicle could roll
if it isn’t.
If you are parking on a hill, or if your vehicle is equipped to tow a trailer,
see “Parking on Hills” or “Towing a Trailer” in the Index.

case onto the lug nut
until it stops. The key does not have to be inserted into
the lock. Push the lock case to be sure it
is secured.
The special lug nut and lock case is not intended to be used on any road
wheel, only on the spare wheel carrier.
If you have an rear-mounted spare tire carrier, tighten the nuts to
22 - 32 lb.
ft.
(30 - 40 N-m) torque.
If You’re Stuck: In Sand, Mud, Ice or Snow
What you don’t want to do when your vehicle is stuck is to spin your wheels
too fast. The method known as “rocking” can help you get out when you’re
stuck, but you must use caution.

Tires should be inspected every 6,000 to 8,000 miles (10 000 to 13 000 km)
for any signs of unusual wear. If unusual wear is present, rotate your tires as
soon as possible and check wheel alignment. Also check for damaged tires
or wheels. See “When It’s Time for New Tires” and “Wheel Replacement”
later in this section for more information.
The purpose of regular rotation is to achieve more uniform wear for all tires
on the vehicle. The first rotation is the most important. See “Scheduled
Maintenance Services”
in the Index for scheduled rotation intervals.

FRT When
rotating your
tires, always use one of the correct rotation
patterns shown here.
After the tires have been rotated, adjust the front and rear inflation pressure
as shown on the Certificatioflire label. Make certain that
all wheel nuts are
properly tightened. See “Wheel Nut Torque” in the Index.
