Put the gearshift lever into the

neutral position and wait at least

three seconds before shifting into R

(Reverse).

You can shift into R (Reverse) only by moving the gearshift lever from

left of 3 (Third) and 4 (Fourth) gears before you shift into R (Reverse).

This is a special lockout feature which prevents you from shifting into R

(Reverse) when you downshift from 5 (Fifth).

DRIVING THROUGH WATER

Do not drive quickly through standing water, especially if the depth is

unknown. Traction or brake capability may be limited and if the ignition

system gets wet, your engine may stall. Water may also enter your

engine’s air intake and severely damage your engine.

If driving through deep or standing water is unavoidable, proceed very

slowly. Never drive through water that is higher than the bottom of the

hubs (for trucks) or the bottom of the wheel rims (for cars).

Once through the water, always try the brakes. Wet brakes do not stop

the vehicle as effectively as dry brakes. Drying can be improved by

moving your vehicle slowly while applying light pressure on the brake

pedal.

Driving through deep water where the transmission vent tube is

submerged may allow water into the transmission and cause

internal transmission damage.

VEHICLE LOADING

Before loading a vehicle, familiarize yourself with the following terms:

• Base Curb Weight: Weight of the vehicle including any standard

equipment, fluids, lubricants, etc. It does not include occupants or

aftermarket equipment.

• Payload: Combined maximum allowable weight of cargo, occupants

and optional equipment. The payload equals the gross vehicle weight

rating minus base curb weight.
