Park in a lighted spot, close all windows and lock your vehicle. Remember
to keep your valuables out
of sight. Put them in a storage area, or take them
with you.
Parking Lots
If you park in a lot where someone will be watching your vehicle, it’s best
to lock
it up and take your keys. But what if you have to leave your ignition
key? What
if you have to leave something valuable in your vehicle?
Put your valuables in a storage area, like your glove box.
Lock all the doors except the driver’s.
New Vehicle “Break-In”
NOTICE:
Your modern vehicle doesn’t need an elaborate “break-in.” But
it will perform better in the long run if you follow these
guidelines:
0 Keep your speed at 55 mph (88 km/h) or less for the first 500
miles (804 km).
Don’t drive at any one speed - fast or slow - for the first
500 miles (804 km). Don’t make full-throttle starts.
Avoid making hard stops for the first 200 miles (322 km) or
so. During this time your new brake linings aren’t yet broken
in. Hard stops with new linings can mean premature wear and
earlier replacement. Follow this “breaking-in” guideline
every time you get new brake linings.
Don’t tow a trailer during “break-in.” See “Towing a Trailer”
in the Index for more information.

accelerator pedal and shift
into SECOND GEAR (2). Then, slowly let
up on the clutch pedal
as you press the accelerator pedal.
THIRD, FOURTH AND FIFTH GEARS (3,4 and 5) - Shift into
THIRD GEAR (3), FOURTH GEAR (4)- and FIFTH GEAR (5) the
same way you
do for SECOND GEAR (2). 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 NEUTRAL (N).
NEUTRAL (N) - Use this position when you start or idle your engine.

damage your transmission.
Also, use REVERSE (R), along with the parking brake, for parking
your vehicle.
SHIFT Light
If you have a manual
transmission, you
have an amber SHIFT
light. This light will
~
show you when to
shift to the next higher
gear for best fuel
economy. It
is located
at the top of your
cluster, above your
fuel gage.
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.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 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
4LO.
Locking Rear Axle
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.
Parking Brake
To Set the Parking Brake:
To Release the Parking Brake:
Hold the regular brake
pedal down with your
right
foot. Push down
the parking brake
pedal
with your left
foot. If the ignition is
on, the brake system
warning light will
come on.
Hold the regular brake
pedal down. Pull the
brake release lever.
It
is located on the
bottom driver's side
of
the instrument panel.

If your vehicle has four-wheel drive, you can send your engine’s driving
power to all four wheels for extra traction.
To shift out of two-wheel drive
and into four-wheel drive, move the transfer case shift lever to
4HI or 4LO.
You should use 2HI for most normal driving conditions, however.
NOTICE:
Driving in the 4HI or 4LO positions for a long time on dry or
wet pavement could shorten the life
of your vehicle’s drivetrain.
Manual Transfer Case
If your four-wheel
drive vehicle has the
manual transfer case,
the transfer case shift
lever is
on the floor
An indicator light near
the lever
shows you
the transfer case
settings:
0 2HI

BRAKE

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 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
pattern’s lighting is normal. If the pattern does not light up, or
if the front
axle lights do not go out after you shift out of four-wheel drive, have your
dealer check your system. Turn the INT LIGHTS switch located to the right
of your headlight switch
to dim your transfer case indicator light when your
headlights or parking lights are
on. This will also cause your instrument
panel lights to dim.
2HI - This setting is for driving in most street and highway situations.
Your front axle is not engaged in two-wheel drive.
4HI - This setting engages your front axle to help drive your vehicle. Use
4HI when you need extra traction, such as on snowy or icy roads, or in most
off-road situations.
N SET PARK BRAKE - Shift to this neutral setting only when your
vehicle needs to be towed.
4LO - This setting also efigziges your front axle to give you extra traction
and provides extra gear reduction. You may never need 4LO. It
sends the
maximum power to all four wheels. You might choose 4LO if you were
driving off-road in sand, mud, or deep snow and climbing or descending
steep hills.
You can shift from 2HI to 4HI
or from 4HI to 2HI while the vehicle is
moving.
Do not press the transfer case shift lever button when shifting from
2HI to
4HI or from 4HI to 2HT. Your front axle will engage faster if you
take your foot off of the accelerator for a few seconds after you shift.
To shift your transfer case into N SET PARK BRAKE:
1. Stop the vehicle and shift your transmission into NEUTRAL
(N).
2. Set the parking brake. Your vehicle can roll unless the brakes are
applied.
3. Pull the transfer case shift lever into N SET PARK BRAKE.
To shift into or out of 4LO:
1. The vehicle must be stopped or moving less than 3 mph (4.8 km/h)
with the transmission in NEUTRAL
(N) for an automatic transmission
or the clutch pedal depressed with a manual transmission.
2. Press the transfer case shift button and shift in one continuous motion.
Don’t pause in
N SET PARK BRAKE as you shift into or out of 4L0, or
your gears could clash.
Remember that driving in 4HI or 4LO 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 and reduce powertrain
longevity.

How well your Cruise Control will work on hills depends upon your speed,
load, and the steepness of the hills. When going up steep hills, you may
want to step on the accelerator pedal to maintain your speed. When going
downhill, you may have to brake
or shift to a lower gear to keep your speed
down. Of course, applying the brake takes you
out of Cruise Control. Many
drivers find this to be too much trouble and don’t
use Cruise Control on
steep hills.
To Get Out of Cruise Control
There are two ways to turn off the Cruise Control:
To Erase Speed Memory
0 Step lightly on
the brake pedal or
push the clutch
pedal,
if you have
a manual
transmission.
0 Move the Cruise
switch to
OFF.
When you turn off the Cruise Control or the ignition, your Cruise Control
set speed memory is erased.

I You may have this
light
on the instrument
panel.
It goes on
whenever the Daytime
Running Lamps
are
on, the ignition is on,
the headlamp switch is
off, and the parking
brake is released.
Daytime Running Lamps
Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) make it easier to see the front of your
vehicle during the day. DRL can be helpful when it’s raining and
in the
short periods after dawn and before sunset. Several countries, including
Canada, require DRL. Vehicles sold
in the United States may have this
option.
The DRL system will make your high-beam headlamps come
on at a
reduced brightness when:
The ignition is on,
0 The headlamp switch is off, and
0 The parking brake is released.
When the DRL are on, only your high-beam headlamps will be on. The
taillamps, sidemarker and other lamps won’t be
on. Your instrument panel
won’t be lit up either.
When it begins
to get dark, your DRL indicator light is a reminder to turn
your headlamp switch on. The other lamps that come
on with your
headlamps will also come on.
When you turn the headlamp switch off, the regular lamps
will go off, and
your high-beam headlamps will change to the reduced brightness of DRL.
To idle your vehicle with the DRL off, set the parking brake. The DRL will
stay
off until you release the parking brake.
Headamps-On Reminder
A reminder tone will sound when your headlamps or parking lamps are
turned
on and your ignition is in OFF, LOCK or ACC. To turn the tone off,
press the OFF switch.
