When to use 1 (Low)
*
[GF10450(R)05/96]
With the gearshift in the 1 (First) position, maximum engine
braking is provided. This position provides 1 (First) gear
operation only with no automatic upshifts. To obtain upshifts,
the gearshift must be moved out of this position. Use the 1
(First) position to drive up steep grades or to provide maximum
engine braking on downgrades.

Forced Downshifts
[GF10460(R)05/96]

j(Overdrive) or Drive (O/D OFF)

third, second or first gear.

Traction-Lok Rear Axle (If equipped)
*
[GF10492(R)05/96]
This axle provides added drive away traction on slippery
surfaces, particularly when one or more wheels are on a surface
with poor traction.
*
[GF10494(R)03/96]
Extended use of other than matching size tires on a
Traction-Lok rear 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.

Using the Clutch
*
[GF11500(R)01/96]
Make sure the gearshift lever is in the N (Neutral) position and
your right foot is holding down the brake pedal. Then press the
clutch pedal to the floor with your left foot. Manual
transmission vehicles have a starter interlock switch. The starter
will not crank until the clutch pedal is fully depressed. Start the
engine and allow it to idle for a few seconds. Move the
gearshift into 1 (First) or R (Reverse).

size, non-temporary spare tire (if so equipped) and remount on

Replacing the Tires
*
[MC27400(R)01/96]
Replace any tires that show wear bands. When your tire shows
a wear band, it has only 1/16 inch (2 mm) of tread left.

A worn-out tire
*
[MC27600(R)02/96]
Because your vehicle's tires may wear unevenly, you may need
to replace them before a wear band appears across the entire
tread.
*
[MC27700(R)03/96]
Your wheels and tires are match-mounted for improved ride.
Before you begin to repair a tire, mark the wheel and tire so
that they are properly aligned when remounted. This will
ensure that the tires will continue to give you the same ride
level.
