In very cold weather,
0°F (-1 8 "C) or colder, the engine coolant heater can
help. You'll get easier starting and better fuel economy during engine
warm-up. Usually, the coolant heater should be plugged in a minimum
of
four hours prior to starting your vehicle.
To use the coolant heater:
1. Turn off the engine.
2. Open the hood and unwrap the electrical cord.
3. Plug it into a normal, grounded 1 10-volt outlet.

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.
0 OVERDRIVE (@) - This position is for normal driving. If you need
more power for passing, and you’re:
- Going less than about 35 mph (56 kdh), push your accelerator
pedal about halfway down.
- 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.
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.
0 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.
2- 19

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 0 FIR$T GEAR (1) - This position gives you even more power (but
lower fuel economy) than
SECOND GEAR (2). You can use it on very
steep hills, or in deep snow or mud. If the selector lever is put in
FIRST
GEAR (1) while the vehicle is moving forward, the transmission won’t
shift into FIRST
GEAR (1) until the vehicle is going slowly enough.
NOTICE:
If your rear wheels can’t rotate, don’t try to drive. This might
happen
if you were stuck in very deep sand or mud or were up
against a solid object.
You could damage your transmission.
Also, if you stop when going uphill, don’t hold your vehicle there
with only the accelerator pedal. This could overheat and damage
the transmission. Use your brakes or shift into PARK
(P) to hold
your vehicle in position on a hill.
Five-Speed Manual Transmission
This is your shift
pattern. Here’s how to
operate your
transmission:
0 FIRST GEAR (1) - Press the clutch pedal and shift into FIRST
GEAR (1). Then, slowly let up on the clutch pedal as you press the
accelerator pedal.
You can shift into FIRST GEAR (1) when you’re going less than\

20 mph
(32 km/h). If you’ve come to a complete stop and it’s hard to shift into

FIRST GEAR ( 1 ), put the shift lever in NEUTRAL (N) and let up on the
clutch. Press the clutch pedal back down. Then shift into FIRST GEAR (1).
SECOND GEAR (2) - Press the clutch pedal as you let up on the
accelerator pedal and shift
into SECOND GEAR (2). Then, slowly let
up on the clutch pedal
as you press the accelerator pedal.
THIRD, FOURTH AND FIFTH GEARS (3,4 and 5) - Shift into
THIRD GEAR (3), FOURTH GEAR (4)- and FIFTH GEAR (5) the
same way you
do for SECOND GEAR (2). Slowly let up on the clutch
pedal as you press the accelerator pedal.
To Stop - Let up on the accelerator pedal and press the brake pedal.
Just before the vehicle stops, press the clutch pedal and the brake pedal,
and shift
to NEUTRAL (N).
NEUTRAL (N) - Use this position when you start or idle your engine.
REVERSE (R) - To back up, press down the clutch pedal, wait about
6 seconds. then shift into REVERSE (R). Then let up on the clutch
pedal slowly while pressing the accelerator pedal.
I NOTICE:
Shift to REVERSE (R) only after your vehicle is stopped.
Shifting
to REVERSE (R) while your vehicle is moving could
damage your transmission.
Also, use REVERSE (R), along with the parking brake, for parking
your vehicle.
SHIFT Light
If you have a manual
transmission, you
have an amber SHIFT
light. This light will
~
show you when to
shift to the next higher
gear for best fuel
economy. It
is located
at the top of your
cluster, above your
fuel gage.
When this light comes on,
you can shift to the next higher gear if weather,
road and traffic conditions let you.
For the best fuel economy, accelerate
slowly and
shift when the light comes on.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine The front axle portion of the diagram on the indicator will light up when
you shift into four-wheel drive. A slight delay between shifting and the
pattern’s lighting is normal. If the pattern does not light up, or
if the front
axle lights do not go out after you shift out of four-wheel drive, have your
dealer check your system. Turn the INT LIGHTS switch located to the right
of your headlight switch
to dim your transfer case indicator light when your
headlights or parking lights are
on. This will also cause your instrument
panel lights to dim.
2HI - This setting is for driving in most street and highway situations.
Your front axle is not engaged in two-wheel drive.
4HI - This setting engages your front axle to help drive your vehicle. Use
4HI when you need extra traction, such as on snowy or icy roads, or in most
off-road situations.
N SET PARK BRAKE - Shift to this neutral setting only when your
vehicle needs to be towed.
4LO - This setting also efigziges your front axle to give you extra traction
and provides extra gear reduction. You may never need 4LO. It
sends the
maximum power to all four wheels. You might choose 4LO if you were
driving off-road in sand, mud, or deep snow and climbing or descending
steep hills.
You can shift from 2HI to 4HI
or from 4HI to 2HI while the vehicle is
moving.
Do not press the transfer case shift lever button when shifting from
2HI to
4HI or from 4HI to 2HT. Your front axle will engage faster if you
take your foot off of the accelerator for a few seconds after you shift.
To shift your transfer case into N SET PARK BRAKE:
1. Stop the vehicle and shift your transmission into NEUTRAL
(N).
2. Set the parking brake. Your vehicle can roll unless the brakes are
applied.
3. Pull the transfer case shift lever into N SET PARK BRAKE.
To shift into or out of 4LO:
1. The vehicle must be stopped or moving less than 3 mph (4.8 km/h)
with the transmission in NEUTRAL
(N) for an automatic transmission
or the clutch pedal depressed with a manual transmission.
2. Press the transfer case shift button and shift in one continuous motion.
Don’t pause in
N SET PARK BRAKE as you shift into or out of 4L0, or
your gears could clash.
Remember that driving in 4HI or 4LO may reduce fuel economy. Also,
driving in four-wheel drive
on dry pavement could cause your tires to wear
faster and make your transfer case harder to shift and reduce powertrain
longevity.
