You can shift from TWO-WHEEL HIGH (2H) to
FOUR-WHEEL HIGH (4H) or from FOUR-WHEEL
HIGH
(4H) to TWO-WHEEL HIGH (2H) at any speed
if your hubs are locked and your wheels are straight
ahead. Your front axle will engage faster if
you take
your foot
off the accelerator pedal for a few seconds as
you shift.

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 PARK (P) 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 PARK (P). This is called “torque lock.”
To prevent torque lock, set the parking brake and then
shift into PARK (P) properly before you leave the
driver’s seat. To find out how, see “Shifting Into
PARK (P)” in the Index.
When you are ready to drive, move the shift lever out of
PARK (P)
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 PARK
(P).

Shifting Out of PARK (P)
(Automatic Transmission)
Your Geo has a brake-transmission shift interlock. You
have to fully
apply your regular brakes before you can
shift from PARK
(P) when the ignition is in the ON
position. See “Automatic Transmission” in the Index.
If you cannot shift out of
PARK (P), ease pressure on
the shift lever -- push the shift lever all the way into
PARK
(P) and release the shift lever button as you
maintain brake application. Then press the shift lever
button and move the shift lever into the gear you wish. If
you ever hold the brake pedal down but still can’t
shift out of
PARK (P), try this:
1. Apply and hold the brake until the end of step 6.
2. If the engine is running, shut it off. Turn the key to

Brake System Warning Light
BRAKE
United States Canada
Your Geo’s
hydraulic brake system is divided into two
parts. If one part isn’t working, the other part can still
work and stop you. For good braking, though, you need
both
parts working well.
Your vehicle also has rear-wheel anti-lock brakes. If the
warning light comes on, there could be a brake problem
with either your regular or rear-wheel anti-lock brakes,
or both. Have your brake system inspected right away.
This light should come on briefly as you start the
vehicle.
If it doesn’t come on then, have it fixed so it
will be ready to warn you if there’s a problem. If
the light comes on while you are driving, pull
off the
road and stop carefully.
You may notice that the pedal is
harder to push. Or, the pedal may
go closer to the floor.
It may take longer to stop.
If the light is still on, have the
vehicle towed
for service. (See “Towing Your Vehicle”
in the Index.)
The brake system warning light will also come on when
you set your parking brake, and it will stay on if your
parking brake doesn’t release fully. If it stays on after
your parking brake is fully released, it means you have
a
brake problem.
