operation only with no automatic upshifts. To obtain upshifts,
the gearshift must be moved out of this position. Use the 1

engine braking on downgrades.

[GF10492(R)05/96]
This axle provides added drive away traction on slippery
surfaces, particularly when one or more wheels are on a surface
with poor traction.

effectiveness. This loss of effectiveness does not affect normal
driving and should not be noticeable to the driver.
