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.
Five-Speed Manual Transmission
This is your shift
pattern. Here’s how
to 1..
operate your
transmission:
0 1 (First Gear) - Press the clutch pedal and shift into “1” (First Gear).
Then, slowly let up on the clutch pedal as you press the accelerator
pedal.
You can shift into
“1” (First Gear) when you’re going less than 20 mph
(32 km/h).
If you’ve come to a complete stop and it’s hard to shift into
“I” (First Gear), put the shift lever in “N” (Neutral) and let up on the
clutch. Press the clutch pedal back down. Then shift into “1” (First
Gear).
2 (Second Gear) - Press the clutch pedal as you let up on the
accelerator pedal and shift
into “2” (Second Gear). Then, slowly let up
on the clutch pedal
as you press the accelerator pedal.
0 3,4 and 5 (Third, Fourth and Fifth Gears) - Shift into “3” (Third
Gear),
“4” (Fourth Gear), and “5” (Fifth Gear) the same way you do for
“2” (Second Gear). Slowly let up
on the clutch pedal as you press the
accelerator pedal.

To Stop - Let up on the accelerator pedal and press the brake pedal.
Just before the vehicle stops, press
the clutch pedal and the brake pedal,
and shift to
“N” (Neutral).
N (Neutral) - Use this position when you start or idle your engine.
R (Reverse) - To back up, press down the clutch pedal, wait about 6
seconds, then shift into “R” (Reverse). Then let up on the clutch pedal
slowly while pressing the accelerator pedal.
NOTICE:
Shift to “R” (Reverse) only after your vehicle is stopped.
Shifting to
“R” (Reverse) while your vehicle is moving could
damage your transmission.
Also, use “R’ (Reverse), along with the parking brake, for parking your
vehicle.
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.

sure
the transfer case is in a drive gear - not in “N” (Neutral).
4. Move the ignition key to LOCK.
5. Remove the key and take it with you. If you can walk away from your
vehicle with the ignition
key in your hand, your vehicle is in “P”
(Park).
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).

Models Only)
Before you get out of your vehicle, turn off your engine, put your manual
transmission
in “R” (Reverse) 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.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Running Your Engine While You’re Parked
(Automatic Transmission)
It’s better not to park with the engine running. But if you ever have to, here
are some things to know.
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’ (Neutral). Follow the proper steps to be sure your vehicle
won’t move. See “Shifting Into ‘P’ (Park)” in the Index.
If you’re pulling a trailer, see “Towing a Trailer” in the Index.
