One-to-Four Shift Light (Manual

Transmission): When this light comes

on, you can shift only 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.
