Common Radio Reception Conditions
*
[AS35300(BEF )02/95]
Several conditions prevent FM reception from
being completely clear and noise-free, such as
the following:
*
[AS35400(BEF )04/95]
1. Distance/Strength
*
[AS35500(BEF )02/95]
The strength of the FM signal is directly related
to the distance the signal must travel. The
listenable range of an average FM signal is
approximately 25 miles (40 kilometers). Beyond
this distance, the radio is operating in a fringe
area and the signal becomes weaker.
*
[AS35575( EF )07/90]
NOTE: Always make sure your antenna
(Whether you have a power antenna or
a manually adjustable antenna) is fully
extended to its maximum length for
proper reception. If your antenna is not
fully extended, you may experience
signal loss while traveling in fringe
reception areas.
*
[AS35600(BEF )04/95]
2. Terrain
*
[AS35700(BEF )02/95]
The terrain (hilly, mountainous, tall buildings) of
the area over which the signal travels may
prevent the FM signal from being noise-free.

*
[DR01100( EF )01/93]
RWARNING
Hold the brake pedal down while you
move the gearshift lever from position to
position. If you do not hold the brake
pedal down, your vehicle may move
unexpectedly and injure someone.
*
[DR01200( EF )01/95]
Once you place the gearshift securely into
position, gradually release the brake pedal and
use the accelerator as necessary.
*
[DR01210( EF )01/95]
NOTE: Your vehicle is equipped with a
brake-shift interlock feature. This
feature prevents you from shifting
from P (Park) unless you have the
brake pedal depressed. (The ignition
must be in the ON position.) If you
cannot shift from P (Park) with the
brake pedal depressed:
*
[DR01220( EF )01/95]
1. Apply the parking brake.
*
[DR01230( EF )01/95]
2. Remove the key.
*

When to use 1 (Low)
*
[DR02200( EF )06/92]
Use 1 (Low) to drive up steep grades and to
provide maximum engine braking on hilly roads.
Upshifts from 1 (Low) can be made by manually
shifting to 2 (Second) or D (Drive). Selection of 1
(Low) gear provides only First gear operation at
start-up. When driving, manually shifting to 1
(Low) will result in downshifts to Second gear
or First gear depending on vehicle speed.
*
[DR02250( EF )12/91]
NOTE: Do not drive faster than 30 mph
(48 km/h) in this gear.
*
[DR02300( EF )01/95]
P (Park)
*
[DR02400( EF )03/94]
Always come to a complete stop before you shift
into P (Park). This position locks the
transmission and prevents the rear wheels from
turning. To securely latch the gearshift in the P
(Park) position, pull it toward you, push it
completely counterclockwise against the stop,
and then push it toward the instrument panel.
*
[DR02450( EF )03/94]
The gearshift is securely latched in P (Park) if
you cannot rotate it in a clockwise direction
without lifting it toward you.
*
[DR02500( EF )05/95]
RWARNING
Always set the parking brake fully and
make sure that the gearshift is securely
latched in P (Park).
*
[DR02600( EF )05/95]
RWARNING
Never leave your vehicle unattended
while it is running.
[DR02625( F )05/95]
When the transfer case is in the N (Neutral)
position, the engine and transmission are
disconnected from the rest of the driveline.
Therefore, the vehicle is free to roll even if the
automatic transmission is in P (Park) or the
manual transmission is in gear.

[DR09165( ALL)05/95]
If you need to shift out of P (Park) by using the
alternate procedure described above, it is
possible that a fuse has blown and that your
brakelamps may also not be functional. Please
