Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine NOTICE:
Damage to your transmission caused by shifting out of “P”
(Park) or “N” (Neutral) with the engine racing isn’t covered by
your warranty.
@ (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.

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.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Standard Cluster Digital Cluster
A green arrow on the instrument panel will flash in the direction of the turn
or lane change.
To signal
a lane change, just raise or lower the lever until the green arrow
starts to flash. Hold
it there until you complete your lane change. The lever
will return by itself when you release it.
As you signal a turn or a lane change, if the arrows don’t flash but just stay
on,
a signal bulb may be burned out and other drivers won’t see your turn
signal.
If your vehicle has the digital instrument cluster, the turn signal arrows will
flash at
a faster rate if a signal bulb is burned out.
If a bulb is burned out, replace it to help avoid an accident. If the green
arrows don’t go on at all when you signal a turn, check the fuse (see “Fuses”
in the Index) and for burned-out bulbs.
If
you have a trailer towing option with added wiring for the trailer lights, a
different turn signal flasher is used. With this flasher installed, the signal
indicator will flash even if
a turn signal bulb is burned out. Check the front
and rear turn signal lights regularly to make sure they are working.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Trailer Wiring Harness
Your vehicle may have either a 5-wire or 7-wire harness.
The light duty trailer wiring is a 5-wire harness assembly taped and bundled
at the left corner
of the vehicle interior, next to the endgate. The harness has
no connector, and you should have a qualified service person wire your
harness for
you. It must be routed out of your vehicle and attached so that
the trailer or the body won’t pull
it.
The heavy duty trailer wiring is a 7-wire harness assembly consisting of a
5-wire harness and a 2-wire harness taped together and stored under the
vehicle, along
the rear frame crossmember. It has a 30-amp feed wire with
an inline fuse located by the junction block. See “Fuses and Circuit
Breakers” in the Index.
Both the 5-wire harness and the 2-wire harness have no connector and
should be wired by a qualified service person. Attach the harness to the
trailer, then tape or strap
it to your vehicle’s frame rail. Be sure you leave it
loose enough so the wiring doesn’t bend or break, but not so loose that it
drags
on the ground.
Store the harness in its original place.
Wrap the harness together and tie it
neatly so it won’t be damaged.
