7.
To upshift into high range—with the transmission
still in the highest low-range gear—move the
range selector lever up to put the transmission
into high range, then partially depress the clutch
pedal and move the shift lever into neutral. As
the shift lever passes through neutral, the trans-
mission will automatically shift from low range to
high range.
8.
Release the clutch pedal, and let the engine slow
until the road speed and engine rpm match.
9.
Partially depress the clutch pedal, and move the
shift lever into the lowest gear in the high range,
5th gear in 9-speed models and 6th gear in 10-
speed models.
