If you have a manual transmission, you have a SHIFT light. This light will
show you when
to shift to the next higher gear for best fuel economy.
When this light comes on,
you can "shift to the n-ext higher gear if weather,
road and traffic conditions let you. For the best fuel economy, accelerate
slowly and shift when the light comes on.
While you .accelerate, it
is normal for the light to go on and off if you quickly
change the position
of the accelerator. Ignore the SHIFT light when you
downshift.
For Four-wheel Drive Vehicles
Only: If your vehicle has four-wheel drive
and is equipped with a manual transmission, disregard the shift\
light when the
transfer case is in
4 LOW.
Shift Speeds-Manual Transmissions
If your speed drops below 20 mph (32 km/h), or if the engine is not running
smoothly, you should downshift
to the next lower gear. You may have to
downshift two or more gears to keep the engine running smoothly or for good
performance.

Leaving Your Vehicle With the Engine Running
(Automatic Transmission Models Only)
1 CAUTION
It can be dangerous to leave your vehicle with the engine running.
Your vehicle could move suddenly
if the shift lever is not fully in P
(Park) with the parking brake firmly set. If you have four-wheel drive
with a manual transfer case shift lever and your transfer case\
is in
N
(Neutral), your vehicle will be free to roll, even if your shift lever is in
P (Park). So be sure the transfer case is in a drive gear-not in N

vehicle is in
P (Park) and your parking brake is firmly set before you leave it.
If you have four-wheel drive with a manual transfer case shift le\
ver, be sure
that the transfer case is in
a drive gear-not in N (Neutral). After you’ve
moved the shift lever into the
P (Park) position, hold the regular brake pedal
down. Then, see if you can move the shift lever away from P (Park) without
first pulling it toward you.
If you can, it means that the shift lever wasn’t fully
locked into
P (Park).
Parking Your b bide (Manual Transmission Models
Before you get out of your vehicle, put your manual transmissi\
on in R

Manual Transfer Case
I
PO1 63
The transfer case shift lever is on the floor to the right of the driver. Use this
lever
to shift into and out of four-wheel drive. An indicator light near the lever
shows you the transfer case settings:
2 WHEEL
4 HIGH
N SET PARKING BRAKE
4 LOW
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 patte\
rn's
lighting is normal.
If the pattern does not light up, or if the front axle does
not go out after you shift out
of four-wheel drive, have your dealer check
your system. Turn the dial above your headlight switch
to the left to dim your
transfer case indicator light when your headlights or parking l\
ights are on.
2 WHEEL: This setting is for driving in most street and highway situations.
Your front axle is not engaged in two-wheel drive.
4 HIGH: This setting engages your front axle to help drive your vehicle.
Use
4 HIGH when you need extra traction, such as on snowy or icy roads, \
or in most off-road situations.
N SET PARKING BRAKE: Shift to this neutral setting only when your vehicle
needs
to be towed.
2-28
I

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 4 LOW: This setting also engages your front axle to give you extra traction.
You may never need
4 LOW. It sends the maximum power to all four wheels.
You might choose
4 LOW if you were driving off-road in sand, mud, or deep
snow and climbing or descending steep hills.
You can shift from
2 WHEEL to 4 HIGH or from 4 HIGH to 2 WHEEL while
the vehicle is moving.
It is not necessary for you to press the transfer case
shift lever button. Your front axle will engage faster if you take your foot
off
of the accelerator for a few seconds after you shift.
To shift into or out of 4 LOW or N SET PARKING BRAKE:
-
1. Stop your vehicle and shift your transmission into neutral.
2. Press the transfer case shift button and shift in one continuous motion.
Don’t pause in
N SET PARKING BRAKE as you shift into or out of 4 LOW,
or your gears could clash.
Remember that driving in
4 HIGH or 4 LOW 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.
Electronic Transfer Case
1
KO41 2
The optional electronic shift transfer case switch is on the left side of your
instrument panel above the light switches. Use this switch to \
shift into and
out of four-wheel drive. You can choose among three driving settings:
1. Two-wheel drive, “TWO WHEEL”: This setting is for driving in most
street and highway situations. Your front axle
is not engaged in
two-wheel drive.
