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 p . rer f_ r
passing, and you’re:
- Going less than about 35 mph (56 ludh), 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 y\
ou 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.

NOTICE:
Driving with the parking brake on can cause your rear brakes \
to overheat. You may have to replace them, and you could also
damage other parts
of your vehicle.
If you are on a hill: See “Parking on Hills” in the Index. That section
shows how
to turn your front wheels.
If you are towing a trailer and are parking on any hill: See “Towing a
Trailer” in the Index. That section shows what to
do first to keep the trailer
from moving.
Shifting Into ‘6P’’ (Park)

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 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 “P’ (Park).
Parking Your Vehicle (Manual Transmission
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.
lr 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.

(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 wi\
ll 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 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 f\
lash but just stay
on, a signal bulb may be burned out and other drivers won’t see your turn
signal.
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. Checkthe front
and rear turn signal lights regularly to make sure they
are working.
Operation Of Lights
Although your vehicle’s lighting system (headlights, parking \
lights, fog
lamps, side marker lights and taillights) meets all applicable federal ligh\
ting
requirements, certain states and provinces may apply their own lighting
regulations that may require special attention before you operat\
e these
lights.
For example, some jurisdictions may require that you operate your f\
og
lamps only when your lower beam headlights
are also on, or that headlights
be turned on whenever you must use your windshield wipers. In add\
ition,
most jurisdictions prohibit driving solely with parking lights, \
especially at
dawn or dusk. It is recommended that you check with your own state or
provincial highway authority for applicable lighting regulations.

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 a\
nd tie it
neatly
so it won’t be damaged.
The fuse for trailer wiring is in-line and located in left front side panel
