If you manually select
SECOND
(2), the transmission
will drive in second gear. You may use this feature
for reducing torque to the rear wheels when you
are trying to start your vehicle from a stop on slippery
road surfaces.
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 selector lever is put in FIRST
(I),
the transmission
won’t shift into first gear until the vehicle is going
slow enough.
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 or shift into
PARK
(P) to hold
your vehicle in position on a hill.
