[AS35200(BEF )06/95]
Common Radio Reception Conditions
*
[AS35300(BEF )02/95]
Several conditions prevent FM reception from
being completely clear and noise-free, such as
the following:
*
[AS35400(BEF )04/95]
1. Distance/Strength
*
[AS35500(BEF )02/95]
The strength of the FM signal is directly related
to the distance the signal must travel. The
listenable range of an average FM signal is
approximately 25 miles (40 kilometers). Beyond
this distance, the radio is operating in a fringe
area and the signal becomes weaker.
*
[AS35575( EF )07/90]
NOTE: Always make sure your antenna
(Whether you have a power antenna or
a manually adjustable antenna) is fully
extended to its maximum length for
proper reception. If your antenna is not
fully extended, you may experience
signal loss while traveling in fringe
reception areas.
*
[AS35600(BEF )04/95]
2. Terrain
*
[AS35700(BEF )02/95]
The terrain (hilly, mountainous, tall buildings) of
the area over which the signal travels may
prevent the FM signal from being noise-free.

When to use 1 (Low)
*
[DR02200( EF )06/92]
Use 1 (Low) to drive up steep grades and to
provide maximum engine braking on hilly roads.
Upshifts from 1 (Low) can be made by manually
shifting to 2 (Second) or D (Drive). Selection of 1
(Low) gear provides only First gear operation at
start-up. When driving, manually shifting to 1
(Low) will result in downshifts to Second gear
or First gear depending on vehicle speed.
*
[DR02250( EF )12/91]
NOTE: Do not drive faster than 30 mph
(48 km/h) in this gear.
*
[DR02300( EF )01/95]
P (Park)
*
[DR02400( EF )03/94]
Always come to a complete stop before you shift
into P (Park). This position locks the
transmission and prevents the rear wheels from
turning. To securely latch the gearshift in the P
(Park) position, pull it toward you, push it
completely counterclockwise against the stop,
and then push it toward the instrument panel.
*
[DR02450( EF )03/94]
The gearshift is securely latched in P (Park) if
you cannot rotate it in a clockwise direction
without lifting it toward you.
*
[DR02500( EF )06/95]
RWARNING
Always set the parking brake fully and
make sure the gearshift is securely latched
in P (Park).
*
[DR02600( EF )06/95]

vehicle movement (such as holding the brake) in
a forward or reverse gear causes transmission
stall.
*
[DR11285( ALL)03/94]

condition can result in transmission
overheat, malfunction or fluid
expulsion.

RWARNING
To avoid injury, never run the engine
with one wheel off the ground, such as
when changing a tire.
*
[RE04280(BEF )10/94]
Extended use of other than matching size spare
tires on a Traction-Lok axle could result in a
permanent reduction in effectiveness. This loss of
effectiveness does not affect normal driving and
should not be noticeable to the driver.

[RE05100(BEF )03/95]
Spare Tire Location
*
[RE05250( E )06/94]
The spare tire for your vehicle is stowed at the
rear under the frame (except cutaway and
stripped chassis models).
*
[RE05550( E )03/91]
To remove the spare tire:
[RE05625( E )03/93]
1. Open both of the rear doors. Remove the
access cover from the rubber strip found
behind the left door. Insert tapered end of
lug wrench or tip of jack handle through the
access hole. Turn counterclockwise until the
cable extends enough to allow the spare tire
to be pulled rearward from under the
vehicle.
*
[RE05700( E )10/94]
2. Slide the spare tire to the rear and remove
the retainer from the wheel.
*
[RE05850( E )10/94]

use only hoist adapters with a wide
contact surface.
*
[RE15325( E M)03/95]

or roll. Put the gearshift in P (Park). Set the
parking brake and block the wheel that is
diagonally opposite the tire that you are
changing.
*
[RE15377( E )06/95]
When one of the back wheels is off the ground,
the transmission alone will not prevent the
vehicle from moving or slipping off the jack,
even if the vehicle is in P (Park). To prevent the
vehicle from moving when you change a tire, be
sure the parking brake is set, then block the
wheel (both directions) that is diagonally
opposite (other side and end of the vehicle) to
the tire being changed.
[RE15430(E )10/95]
RWARNING
If the vehicle slips off the jack, you or
someone else coule be seriously injured.
