Manual Transmission
Shift Light
( )
One-to-Four Shift Light (Manual
Transmission):
When this light comes
on you can only shift from First (1) to
Fourth (4) instead of First (1) to Second
(2). This helps you get the best possible
fuel economy. After shifting to Fourth (4),
the vehicle can then be shifted into a
lower gear, if desired. The light comes
on only when the engine coolant tem-
perature is higher than 169 degrees F.
(76 degrees C.), at speeds of 15-19
mph (24-31 km/h) and when you are at
21 percent of throttle or less.
See Section 3 of your Owner Manual.
