MANUAL TRANSMISSION
PRECAUTIONS
WARNING: Always set the parkingbrake fully and make sure you shift thegearshift lever to first gear. Switch theignition off and remove the key wheneveryou leave your vehicle.
Failure to fully press the clutch pedal tothe floor may cause increased shift efforts,premature wear to transmissioncomponents or damage the transmission.
Do not drive with your foot resting on theclutch pedal or use the clutch pedal to holdyour vehicle at a standstill when waitingon a hill. These actions reduce the life ofthe clutch and could nullify a clutchwarranty claim.
SHIFTING INTO REVERSE
Reverse (R)
1.Press the clutch pedal to the floor todisengage clutch.
2.Shift into reverse (R) by raising thecollar below the gearshift knob up, thenmoving the lever fully to the left, thenforward.
Note:You can only move the gearshift leverto reverse (R) by raising the collar below thegearshift knob up before shifting to reverse.This is a lockout feature which protects thetransmission from accidentally engagingreverse (R) when intending to select first(1).
If reverse (R) is not fully engaged press theclutch pedal, return the gearshift to theneutral position, then release the clutchpedal. Re-apply the clutch pedal, then liftthe gearshift collar and shift into reverse(R) again.
Note:Do not move the transmissionselector lever to reverse (R) gear when yourvehicle is moving. This can cause damageto the transmission.
Note:Make sure that your vehicle is at acomplete stop before you shift into reverse(R). Failure to do so could damage thetransmission.
CRAWLER GEAR
WHAT IS CRAWLER GEAR
Allows you to cruise at ultra low speedswith the clutch fully engaged, when drivingthrough obstacles and jagged terrain.
USING CRAWLER GEAR
Crawler (C)
Shifting into crawler gear:
1.Press the clutch pedal to the floor todisengage clutch.
2.Shift into crawler (C) by raising thecollar below the gearshift knob up, thenmoving the lever fully to the left, thenbackward.

Note:You can only move the gearshift leverto crawler (C) by raising the collar belowthe gearshift knob up before shifting tocrawler. This is a lockout feature whichprotects the transmission from accidentallyengaging crawler (C) when intending toselect second (2).
If crawler (C) is not fully engaged press theclutch pedal down, return the gearshift tothe neutral position, then release the clutchpedal. Re-apply the clutch pedal, then liftthe gearshift collar and shift into crawler(C) again.
The crawler gear enables an easier start inunusual conditions or terrain. You shouldchange up to first (1) when possible andrefrain from using crawler (C) at highengine speeds as transmission damagecould result. See Manual TransmissionPrecautions (page 174).
In normal use, ensure your vehicle isstationary before selecting crawler (C) asit is primarily a starting gear. If you changedown to crawler (C) from first (1) while thevehicle is moving, ensure an engine speedis below 1500 rpm, and that the clutchpedal is fully pressed for a smoothtransition to crawler gear.
RECOMMENDED SHIFT
SPEEDS
Recommended Shift Speeds
For best fuel efficiency when driving yourvehicle, shift to the next gear by 3000RPM.
Shifting at a higher RPM such as3000-6000 RPM can increase theperformance capabilities of the vehicle.However, higher engine and transmissionspeeds can increase wear and reduce fueleconomy.
When downshifting your vehicle, alwaysshift at the lowest engine RPM possible tomatch your driving conditions. This isusually under 2000 RPM for all forwardgears, except for downshifting into thecrawler (C) gear which you should dobelow 1500 RPM. See ManualTransmission Precautions (page 174).
Note:Always fully depress the clutch pedalbetween gear shifts.

CHECKING THE MANUAL
TRANSMISSION FLUID LEVEL
Transmission fill level is 0.16 in (4 mm)from oil fill plug.
CHECKING THE CLUTCH FLUID
LEVEL
1.Check the system for any visual leaksbefore continuing.
2.Make sure the clutch pedal is in themost upward position.
3.Remove the cap and diaphragm andinspect the fluid level. To avoidcontamination, make sure the reservoircap remains in place and fullytightened unless you are checking thefluid level.
4.Reinstall the reservoir cap anddiaphragm.
Only use fluid that meets ourspecifications. See Capacities andSpecifications (page 401).
Note:A fluid level on the step line in thereservoir is within the normal operatingrange and there is no need to add fluid. Afluid level not in the normal operating rangecould compromise the performance of thesystem. Have your vehicle checkedimmediately.

Note:We recommend using this mode fordriving on hilly or mountainous roads orwhen towing a trailer. See Towing a Trailer(page 283).
SPORT (S)
In sport (S) your vehicle holds gears longer.
Note:We recommend using this mode fora sportier feel or when driving on hilly ormountainous roads.
SHIFTING YOUR VEHICLE INTO
GEAR
1.Fully press down on the brake pedal.
2.Press the front button on the shifterand move the gearshift lever into thedesired gear.
3.When you finish driving, come to acomplete stop.
4.Press the front button on the shifter,move the gearshift lever and securelylatch it in park (P).
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
POSITION INDICATORS
MANUALLY SHIFTING GEARS
SHIFTING USING THE BUTTONSON THE SELECTOR LEVER
Your vehicle has a SelectShift Automatictransmission gearshift lever. This gives youthe ability to change gears up or down,without a clutch, as preferred.
To prevent the engine from running at toolow an RPM, which could cause it to stall,SelectShift still makes some downshiftsif it determines that you have notdownshifted in time. Although SelectShiftmakes some downshifts for you, it stillallows you to downshift at any time if itdetermines that damage to the enginefrom over-revving does not occur.
Note:SelectShift does not automaticallyupshift, even if the engine is approachingthe RPM limit. Shift manually by pressingthe + button.
Note:Engine damage could occur if youmaintain excessive engine revving withoutshifting.

For vehicles with an electronicshift-on-the-fly transfer case, whenshifting into two-wheel drive high on dry,hard surfaced roads, we recommend thatyou follow the following procedure toreduce the likelihood of a mechanical shiftblock:
1.When driving straight, come to acomplete stop on a flat, horizontalsurface.
2.For vehicles with an automatictransmission, shift into park (P). Forvehicles with a manual transmission,press the clutch.
3.Select 2H and wait for the 2H LED tobecome solid.
4.For vehicles with an automatictransmission, shift into reverse (R). Forvehicles with a manual transmission,select reverse (R) and release theclutch. Let the vehicle roll backward upto 3 ft (1 m) and press the brake.
5.For vehicles with an automatictransmission, shift into drive (D). Forvehicles with a manual transmission,press the clutch in again, select aforward gear and release the clutch.Let the vehicle roll forward up to 3 ft(1 m).
If the system is mechanically blocked, oneor more of the following actions can relievethe mechanical shift block:
•Momentary acceleration.
•Momentary braking.
•Bringing the vehicle to a stop.
•Shifting the transmission to neutral andback to drive.
•Shifting the transmission to reverseand back to drive.
•Driving the vehicle around a tight turnat a slow speed.
SWITCHING FOUR-WHEEL
DRIVE ON AND OFF
A vehicle that comes with four-wheel drive,when selected, has the ability to use allfour wheels to power itself. This increasestraction, which may enable you to safelydrive over terrain and road conditions thata conventional two-wheel drive vehiclecannot.
On some four-wheel drive models, theinitial shift from two-wheel drive tofour-wheel drive while the vehicle ismoving can cause a momentary clunk andratcheting sound. These sounds are normalas the front drivetrain comes up to speedand are not cause for concern.
