1 (First)

Use 1 (First) to provide maximum

engine braking on steep

downgrades. Upshifts can be made

by shifting to 2 (Second) or to (Overdrive). Selecting 1 (Low) at higher

speeds causes the transmission to shift to a lower gear and will shift to 1

(First) after the vehicle decelerates to the proper vehicle speed.

Forced Downshifts

To gain acceleration in (Overdrive) or Drive (O/D OFF) when passing

another vehicle, push the accelerator to the floor. The transmission will

downshift to the appropriate gear: fourth, third, second or first gear.

Driving a manual transmission (if equipped)

Using the clutch

Vehicles equipped with a manual

transmission have a starter interlock

that prevents starting the engine

unless the clutch pedal is fully

depressed.

When starting a vehicle with a

manual transmission:

1. Hold down the brake pedal.

2. Put the gearshift lever in N

(Neutral).

3. Depress the clutch pedal.

4. Start the engine and let it idle for a few seconds.

• Put the gearshift lever in 1 (First) or R (Reverse).

5. Move foot from brake to accelerator and begin to release the clutch

slowly while gradually pressing down on the accelerator.

• Do not drive with your foot resting on the clutch pedal. Do not use

the clutch to hold your vehicle at a standstill while waiting on a hill.

These actions may reduce clutch life.
