FIRST
(1):
This position gives you even more power
(but lower fuel economy) than
SECOND
(2).
You can
use
it
on very steep hills, or in deep snow or mud.
If
the shift lever is put in FIRST
(l),
the transmission
won’t shift into first gear until the vehicle is going
slowly enough.
I
NOTICE:
If your rear wheels can’t rotate, don’t
try
to
drive.
This
might happen if you were stuck in
very deep sand or mud or were up against a solid
object. You could damage your transmission.
Also,
if
you stop when going uphill, don’t hold your
vehicle there with only the accelerator pedal.
This
could overheat
and
damage the transmission. Use
your brakes or shift into
PARK
(P)
to
hold
your
vehicle in position
on
a
hill.
Limited-Slip
Rear
Axle (Option)
If you have this feature, your 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,
the limited-slip feature will allow the wheel with
traction
to move the vehicle.
Parking
Brake
To set the parking brake,
hold the regular brake pedal
down with your right foot.
Push down the parking
brake pedal with your left
foot. If the ignition is on,
the brake system warning
light will come on.
