1 (First)

• Transaxle operates in first gear only.

• Provides maximum engine braking.

• Allows upshifts by moving gearshift lever.

• Will not downshift into 1 (First) at high speeds; allows for 1 (First)

when vehicle reaches slower speeds.

When parking, do not use the gearshift in place of the parking

brake. Always set the parking brake fully and make sure that the

gearshift is securely latched in Park (P). Turn off the ignition

whenever you leave your vehicle. Never leave your vehicle unattended

while it is running. If you do not take these precautions, your vehicle

may move unexpectedly and injure someone.

If your vehicle gets stuck in mud or snow

If your vehicle gets stuck in mud or snow, it may be rocked out by

shifting between forward and reverse gears, stopping between shifts in a

steady pattern. Press lightly on the accelerator in each gear.

If necessary, try turning the Traction Control娂 or AdvanceTrac威 system

off. This will allow the wheels to spin, which may help to free your stuck

vehicle. For more information, refer to Traction Control娂 (if equipped)

or AdvanceTrac威 stability enhancement system (if equipped) in this

chapter.

Do not rock the vehicle if the engine is not at normal operating

temperature or damage to the transmission may occur.

Do not rock the vehicle for more than a minute or damage to the

transmission and tires may occur, or the engine may overheat.

REVERSE SENSING SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)

The Reverse Sensing System (RSS) sounds a tone to warn the driver of

obstacles near the rear bumper when the R (Reverse) is selected and the

vehicle is moving at speeds less than 3 mph (5 km/h). The system is not

effective at speeds above 3 mph (5 km/h) and may not detect certain

angular or moving objects.

To help avoid personal injury, please read and understand the

limitations of the reverse sensing system as contained in this

section. Reverse sensing is only an aid for some (generally large and

fixed) objects when moving in reverse on a flat surface at “parking

speeds”. Inclement weather may also affect the function of the RSS;

this may include reduced performance or a false activation.
