Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine NOTICE:
Damage to your transmission caused by shifting out of “P”
(Park) or “N” (Neutral) with the engine racing isn’t covered by
your warranty.
@ (Overdrive)
This position is for normal driving. If you need more p . rer f_ r
passing, and you’re:
- Going less than about 35 mph (56 ludh), push your accelerator
- Going about 35 mph (56 km/h) or more, push the accelerator all
pedal about halfway down.
the
way down.
You’ll shift down to the next gear and have more power.
@ should not be used when towing a trailer, carrying a heavy
load, driving on steep hills, or for off-road driving. Select
“D”
(Third Gear) when operating the vehicle under any of these
conditions.
D (Third Gear)
This is like @, but you never go into Overdrive. You should use “D”
(Third Gear) when towing a trailer, carrying a heavy load, driving on
steep hills, or for off-road driving.
2 (Second Gear)
This position gives you more power but lower fuel economy. You can
use
“2” (Second Gear) on hills. It can help control your speed as y\
ou go
down steep mountain roads, but then you would also want to use your
brakes
off and on.
If you manually select “2” (Second Gear), 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.
1 (First Gear)
This position gives you even more power (but lower fuel economy)
than
“2” (Second Gear). You can use it on very steep hills, or in deep
snow or mud. If the selector lever is put in
“1” (First Gear), the
transmission won’t shift into
“1” (First Gear) until the vehicle is going
slowly enough.

If you are parking on a hill and you don’t shift your transmission into “P’
(Park) 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
lever out of
“P” (Park). This is called “torque lock.” To prevent torque lock,
set the parking brake and
then shift into “P” (Park) properly before you
leave the driver’s seat.
To find out how, see “Shifting Into ‘P’ (Park)” in the
Index.
When you are ready to drive, move the shift lever out of
“P” (Park)
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 “P’ (Park).
Parking Your Vehicle (Manual Transmission
Models Only)
Before you get out of your vehicle, turn off your engine, put your manual
transmission in
“R’ (Reverse) and firmly apply the parking brake.
lr 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.

To make your tires last longer, have them inspected and rotated at the
mileages recommended in the Maintenance Schedule. See “Schedul\
ed
Maintenance Services” in the Index.
Use this rotation
pattern.
The four wheel rotation is for aluminum wheels only. The five wheel
rotation is for steel wheels only.
If your vehicle has front tires with different load ratings or tr\
ead designs
(such as all season vs. ordoff road) than the rear tires, d\
on’t rotate your tires
front to rear.
After the tires have been rotated, adjust the front and rear inflation pressure
as shown on the CertificatiodTire label. Make certain that all wheel nuts are
properly tightened. See “Wheel Nut Torque” in the Index.
