WARNING!
Do not coast in NEUTRAL and never turn off the
ignition to coast down a hill. These are unsafe

Towing the vehicle, coasting, or driving for any other
reason with the transmission in NEUTRAL can cause
severe transmission damage. Refer to “Recreational
Towing” in “Starting And Operating” and “Towing A

When frequent transmission shifting occurs (such as

gear range. Under these conditions, using a lower gear
