Automatic Transmission Gear Selector Operation
The transmission gear selector is located on the left side of the vehicle.
The transmission selector lever has five positions:
- Low forward
- High forward
- Neutral
- Reverse
- Parking
NOTE: To extend belt life, use low forward gear in heavy pulling situations and
in situations where you are operating below 7mph (11km/h) for extended
periods of time.
To change gears, stop the vehicle and with the engine idling, move the lever to
the desired gear. Shifting gears with the engine speed above idle or while the
vehicle is moving could cause transmission damage.
Always place the transmission in gear with the parking brake locked whenever
the vehicle is left unattended.
Maintaining shift linkage adjustment is important to assure proper transmission
function. Should you experience any shifting problem see your dealer.
POTENTIAL HAZARD
Engaging a lower gear when the engine speed is too high.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
The wheels could block. This could cause loss of control, an accident and
injury. It could also cause engine or drivetrain damage.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
Make certain the engine has sufficiently slowed before shifting to a lower gear.
