Parking Your Vehicle
(Manual Transmission Only)
Before you get out of your vehicle, put your manual
transmission in REVERSE (R), turn off the engine, and
firmly apply the parking brake.
If you have four
-wheel-drive, 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 you are pulling a
trailer, see ªTowing a Trailerº in the Index.
CAUTION:
Shifting the transfer case to NEUTRAL (N) can
cause your vehicle to roll even if the manual
transmission is in gear. You or someone else could
be seriously injured. Be sure to set the parking
brake before placing the transfer case in
NEUTRAL (N). See ªParking Brakeº in the Index.
Parking Over Things That Burn
CAUTION:
Things that can burn could touch hot exhaust
parts under your vehicle and ignite. Don't park
over papers, leaves, dry grass or other things that
can burn.

CAUTION:
It can be dangerous to get out of your vehicle if
the shift lever is not fully in PARK (P) with the
parking brake firmly set. Your vehicle can roll.
Don't leave your vehicle when the engine is
running unless you have to. If you've left the
engine running, the vehicle can move suddenly.
You or others could be injured. To be sure your
vehicle won't move, even when you're on fairly
level ground, always set your parking brake and
move the shift lever to PARK (P).
Four-wheel drive vehicles with the transfer case in
NEUTRAL (N) will allow the vehicle to roll, even if
your shift lever is in PARK (P). So, be sure the transfer
case is in a drive gear
-- not in NEUTRAL (N). Always
set your parking brake. Follow the proper steps to be
sure your vehicle won't move. See ªShifting Into
PARK (P)º in the Index.
If you're pulling a trailer, see ªTowing a Trailerº in
the Index.
Locking Rear Axle (If Equipped)
If you have this feature, your locking 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, this feature will allow the wheel with
traction to move the vehicle.

that allows the window to be lowered without holding
the switch. Press and hold the side of the window switch
marked AUTO for one second to activate the

canceled at any time by pressing the opposite side of the
switch. To open the window partway, lightly tap the
switch until the window is at the desired position.
Lockout Switch (Crew Cab)
If you have a Crew Cab and power windows, the power
window switch has a lockout feature. This feature
prevents the rear windows from operating when the

still be operated using the driver's window switch.
When the switch is moved to NORM, the rear power
windows will operate again.
Swing-Out Windows (Extended Cab)
To open a rear swing-out
window, just flip the
latch open and swing
the glass out.
The latch will catch when the window is fully open and
will hold the window in the open position.

by moving the lever toward the front of the cab. Release
the lever from the latch plate and slide the window
toward the driver's side of the vehicle.
To close the window, slide the window toward the
passenger's side of the vehicle. The latch lever will
automatically snap locked on to the latch plate. Try to
open the window without releasing the latch lever to be
sure the window is in the locked position.

the windshield is warmed. Otherwise the washer
fluid can form ice on the windshield, blocking
your vision.
Washer fluid will spray as long as you push the paddle.
When you let go of the paddle, the wipers will continue
to wipe for a few seconds and then either stop or return
to the preset speed.
The use of a hood
-mounted air deflector may adversely
affect windshield wiper and washer performance.
Cruise Control (If Equipped)
With cruise control, you can
maintain a speed of about
25 mph (40 km/h) or more
without keeping your foot
on the accelerator. This can
really help on long trips.
Cruise control does not
work at speeds below about
25 mph (40 km/h).
When you apply your brakes, the cruise control
shuts off.
