Damage to your transmission caused by shifting out of “P”

@ (Overdrive)
This position is for normal driving. If you need more power for
passing, and you’re:
- Going less than about 35 mph (56 km/h), push your accelerator
- Going about 35 mph (56 km/h) or more, push the accelerator all
pedal about halfway down.
the way down.
You’ll shift down to the next gear and have more power.
@ should not be used when towing a trailer, carrying a heavy
load, driving
on steep hills, or for off-road driving. Select “D”
(Third Gear) when operating the vehicle under any of these
conditions.
D (Third Gear) - This is like @, but you never go into Overdrive.
You should use
“D’ (Third Gear) when towing a trailer, carrying a
heavy load, driving on steep hills,
or for off-road driving.
2 (Second Gear) - This position gives you more power but lower fuel
economy. You can use “2” (Second Gear) 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
“2” (Second Gear), 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.
1 (First Gear) - This position gives you even more power (but lower
fuel economy) than “2” (Second Gear). You can use it on very steep
hills, or in deep snow or mud. If the selector lever is put
in “1” (First
Gear),
the transmission won’t shift into “1” (First Gear) until the
vehicle
is going slowly enough.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 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 “P” Park to hold
your vehicle in position on a hill.

Shift Light
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 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.
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.
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.

If you have this feature, your rear axle can give you additional traction on
snow, mud, ice, sand or gravel. It works like a standard axle most of the
time, but when one of the rear wheels has no traction and the other does, the
locking feature will allow the wheel with traction
to move the vehicle.

Leaving Your Vehicle With the Engine Running
(Automatic Transmission Models Only)
Torque Lock (Automatic Transmission)
If you are parking on a hill and you don’t shift your transmission into “P”
(Park) 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 “P’ (Park). This is called “torque lock.” To prevent torque lock,
set the parking brake and then
shift into “P” (Park) properly before you
leave the driver’s seat. To find out how, see “Shifting Into ‘P’ (Park)” in the
Index.
When
you are ready to drive, move the shift lever out of “P” (Park)
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 ‘Y’ (Park).
