DRIVE (D): This position is for normal driving.
If
you need more power for passing, and you’re:
accelerator pedal about halfway down.
Going less than about
15
mph
(25
km/h), push your
Going about
15
mph
(25
km/h) or more, push your
accelerator pedal all the way down.
You’ll
shift
down
to
the next gear and have more
power.
SECOND (2): This position gives you more power but
lower fuel economy.
You
can use SECOND
(2)
on
hills. It can help control your speed as
you
go down
steep mountain roads, but then you would also want
to
use
your brakes
off
and on.
In
this position,
if
the
power mode selector switch is turned
to
P,
the
transmission will not downshift into
LOW
(L). See “Power
Mode Selector Switch” later in this section.
Notice:
Don’t
shift
into SECOND (2) unless you are
going slower than 63.4 mph (102 km/h) with the
transfer case
in
FOUR-WHEEL HIGH (4H) and
TWO-WHEEL HIGH (2H), or 34.9 mph
(56.2
km/h)
with the transfer case
in
FOUR-WHEEL LOW (4L).
If you move the shift lever to a lower gear while
driving faster than the maximum allowable speed for
the lower gear, the transmission will not downshift
until your speed drops below the maximum
speed for the lower gear.
LOW
(L):
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
LOW
(L), the transmission won’t shift
into low gear until the vehicle is going slow enough.
Notice;
Don’t shift into LOW
(L)
at
speeds above
28.0 mph (45.0 km/h) with the transfer case in
FOUR-WHEEL HIGH
(4H)
or TWO-WHEEL HIGH
(2H),
or at speeds above 15.4 mph (24.8 km/h) with the
transfer case in FOUR-WHEEL LOW (4L).
If
you
move the shift lever to
a
lower gear while driving
faster than the maximum allowable speed for
the lower gear, the transmission will not downshift
until
your speed drops below the maximum
speed for the lower gear.
Notice:
If
your rear wheels won’t turn, 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 to hold your vehicle
in
position
on
a
hill.
