AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
WARNING
Always set the parking brake fully
and make sure you shift the gearshift
lever to park (P). Switch the ignition
off and remove the key whenever you leave
your vehicle. Understanding the Shift Positions
of a 6–
Speed Automatic
Transmission (If Equipped) Putting your vehicle in or out of gear:
1. Fully press down the brake pedal.
2. Move the gearshift lever into the
desired gear.
3. Come to a complete stop.
4. Move the gearshift lever and securely latch it in park (P) or neutral (N).
Park (P) (If Equipped)
If your transmission has a park position,
this position locks the transmission and
prevents the rear wheels from turning.
Reverse (R)
With the gearshift lever in reverse (R), your
vehicle moves backward. Always come to
a complete stop before shifting into and
out of reverse (R). Neutral (N)
With the gearshift lever in neutral (N), you
can start your vehicle and it is free to roll.
Hold the brake pedal down while in this
position.
Drive (D)
Drive (D) is the normal driving position for
the best fuel economy. The overdrive
function allows automatic upshifts and
downshifts through gears one through six.
M (Manual)
With the gearshift lever in manual (M), the
driver can change gears up or down as
desired. By moving the gearshift lever from
drive position drive (D) to manual (M) you
now have control of selecting the gear you
desire using buttons on the shift lever. See
Understanding your SelectShift
Automatic
™ transmission later in this
section.
To return to normal drive (D) position,
move the shift lever back from manual (M)
to drive (D).
The transmission operates in gears one
through six.
Second (2)
Transmission operates in second (2) gear
only. Use second (2) gear to start-up on
slippery roads.
First (1)
• Transmission operates in first (1) gear
only.
• Provides maximum engine braking.
• Allows upshifts by moving gearshift
lever.
• Does not downshift into first (1) gear
at high speeds; allows for first (1) gear
when vehicle reaches slower speeds.

WARNING
Sudden accelerations on slippery
surfaces could cause the wheels to
spin, the vehicle to turn sideways on
a crowned road surface or in a turn,
possibly resulting in loss of vehicle control
and personal injury. Activating the Locking Differential
You can lock and unlock the differential
when your vehicle is moving at a constant
speed of less than 25 mph (40 km/h) and
while the wheels are not slipping. Do not
lock the differential when your vehicle is
traveling down steep grades and when
traction is minimal.
The differential lock and differential lock
light automatically disengage at speeds
above 25 mph (40 km/h). The differential
lock remains off until either you restart your
vehicle or you turn the differential lock
switch off then back on.
Servicing a Vehicle with a Locking
Differential
Turn the engine off and raise all drive
wheels of the locker differential axle in
order to prevent your vehicle from moving
when servicing the wheels, tires or brakes.
Axles equipped with a driver-controlled
differential deliver power to both wheels
even when only one wheel is on the ground. WARNING
Failure to raise all drive wheels with
this type of differential could cause
the vehicle to move unexpectedly,
resulting in property damage, personal
injury or death. 2-SPEED REAR AXLE
(If Equipped)
WARNING
Never shift a two-speed axle when
descending a steep grade as this
may cause loss of vehicle control and
result in personal injury. Note:
Do not shift between ranges when
the speed control is on.
A two-speed rear axle allows the driver to
select a low range for greater pulling power
and a high range for greater road speed
and fuel economy. You can also use these
ranges to provide extra steps between
transmission shifts when driving on steep
grades or fuel economy may be factors.
Axle Shifting Note:
Do not shift the axle to LOW when
your vehicle is moving. Use LOW when you
drive a fully loaded vehicle on a severe grade
or in congested traffic. Use HIGH for all
normal driving conditions with a lightly
loaded or partially loaded vehicle.
Note: The axle is set to HIGH by default.
To shift the axle between HIGH and LOW
with the vehicle stopped, place the
transmission in position N, then press and
hold the button for two seconds.

Standard air brakes (cam) are equipped
with automatic brake adjusters. Automatic
adjustment occurs during brake
applications. Inspect brakes for proper
adjustment at the specified intervals. See
Scheduled Maintenance (page 320).
Emergency Air Brake WARNING
Do not continue to operate the
vehicle with a failure of one of the
brake systems. Take the vehicle to
your dealer for service immediately. All vehicles are equipped with a dual brake
system. In the unlikely event of a failure of
one system, the second system functions
for emergency stopping. The brake pedal
controls all these systems in the same
manner as for normal stops.
EXHAUST BRAKE
(If Equipped)
WARNINGS
Do not use tow/haul when the road
surface is slippery. Failure to follow
this instruction could result in the
loss of control of your vehicle. WARNINGS
Do not use diesel engine exhaust
braking when the road surface is
slippery. Failure to follow this
instruction could result in the loss of
control of your vehicle. Note:
Installing an exhaust or auxiliary
brake does not necessarily protect the
engine from exceeding the maximum
governed speed. Use the primary brakes to
make sure the engine never exceeds the
maximum governed speed under any
circumstance.
Note: Before starting the engine, make sure
that the exhaust brake is off. Do not switch
the exhaust brake on until the engine has
reached normal operating temperature.
Note: Maximum exhaust brake
performance relates to the type of
transmission your vehicle has.
Note: Engine speed has a major influence
on limiting performance. When engine
speed stays at the maximum allowable
level, the exhaust brake operates at peak
performance.
Note: Exhaust brakes operate effectively
with automatic transmissions. However,
performance varies with engine speed and
the gear selected by the transmission.
An exhaust brake is an auxiliary braking
system that assists, but does not replace,
the primary brake system. It helps control
vehicle speed. It is not a vehicle-stopping
device.
Use the button on the instrument panel, in
combination with the accelerator and
clutch pedals, to maximize the use of the
exhaust brake in the following conditions:
• Off-highway driving.
• Mountain driving.
• Heavy traffic.
• High-speed highway driving.
