the 4L range, the highest available transmission
gear) and will display that gear in the instrument
cluster as 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
Gear Ranges
DO NOT race the engine when shifting from
PARK or NEUTRAL into another gear range.
If there is a need to restart the engine, be sure
to cycle the ignition to the LOCK/OFF position
before restarting. Transmission gear engage-
ment may be delayed after restarting the engine
if the key is not cycled to the LOCK/OFF
position first.
NOTE:
•
After selecting any gear range, wait a
moment to allow the selected gear to
engage before accelerating. This is espe-
cially important when the engine is cold.
•
If there is a need to restart the engine, be
sure to cycle the ignition to the LOCK/
OFF position before restarting. Transmis-
sion gear engagement may be delayed
after restarting the engine if the key is not
cycled to the LOCK/OFF position first.
PARK
This range supplements the parking brake by
locking the transmission. The engine can be
started in this range. Never attempt to use
PARK while the vehicle is in motion. Apply the
parking brake when leaving the vehicle in this
range.
When parking on a level surface, you may place
the shift lever in PARK first, and then apply the
parking brake.
When parking on a hill, apply the parking brake
before placing the shift lever in PARK, otherwise
the load on the transmission locking mecha-
nism may make it difficult to move the shift lever
out of PARK. As an added precaution, turn the
front wheels toward the curb on a downhill
grade and away from the curb on an uphill
grade.
WARNING!
•
Never use the PARK position as a substi-
tute for the parking brake. Always apply
the parking brake fully when parked to
guard against vehicle movement and pos-
sible injury or damage.
•
Your vehicle could move and injure you
and others if it is not completely in PARK.
Check by trying to move the shift lever
rearward (with the brake pedal released),
after you have placed it in PARK. Make
sure the transmission is in PARK before
leaving the vehicle.
