going down a steep hill. See “ Range

Mode on page 9 ‑ 28 .
2 (Second): This position reduces
vehicle speed even more than
3 (Third) without using the brakes.
You can use 2 (Second) on hills.
It can help control vehicle speed as
you go down steep mountain roads,
but then you would also want to use
the brakes off and on. See
“ Range
Selection Mode ” under Manual
Mode on page 9 ‑ 28 .
If you manually select 2 (Second) in
an automatic transmission, the
transmission will start in
second gear. You can use this
feature for reducing the speed of the
rear wheels when you are trying to
start the vehicle from a stop on
slippery road surfaces.
1 (First): This position reduces
vehicle speed without using the
brakes. You can use it for major/
severe downgrades where the
vehicle would otherwise accelerate
due to steepness of grade. When
you shift to 1 (First) it provides the
lowest gear appropriate to current
road speed and continues to
downshift as the vehicle slows,
eventually downshifting to 1 (First)
gear. The transmission can be held
in 1 (First) gear using Range
Selection Mode or the shift lever.
See
“ Range Selection Mode ” under
Manual Mode on page 9 ‑ 28 .
Notice: Spinning the tires or
holding the vehicle in one
place on a hill using only the
accelerator pedal may damage
the transmission. The repair will
not be covered by the vehicle
warranty. If you are stuck, do not
spin the tires. When stopping on
a hill, use the brakes to hold the
vehicle in place.
Automatic Transmission
(Four Speed)
There are several different positions
for your shift lever.
P (Park): This position locks the
rear wheels. It is the best position to
use when you start the engine
because the vehicle cannot move
easily.

WARNING
It is dangerous to get out of the
vehicle if the shift lever is not fully
in P (Park) with the parking brake
firmly set. The vehicle can roll.
