FIRST GEAR
(1)
-
This position gives you
even
more power (but
lower fuel economy) than SECOND GEAR
(2).
You
can
use
it
on
very
steep hills, or
in
deep snow or mud.
If
the selector lever is put in
FIRST
GEAR
(1)
while the vehicle
is
moving forward, the transmission won’t
shift into FIRST GEAR
(1)
until the vehicle is going slowly enough.
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.
Five-Speed
Manual Transmission

speed manual
transmission with low
gear
(RPO

is your shift pattern.

your transmission:
LOW GEAR

LOW GEAR

let

as
you

)
only when
the
vehicle speed is below
5
mph
(8
km/h). If
you
try
to
shift into LOW GEAR

at excessive
vehicle speeds, the shift lever will not move into the
LOW

position
until
vehicle speed is reduced.
