torque CHEVROLET S10 1995 2.G Owners Manual

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.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 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
lever out
of PARK (P). This is called “torque lock.” To prevent torque lock,
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).
Parkirig 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.

on the vehicle. The first rotation is the most important. See “Scheduled
Maintenance Services” in
