FIRST GEAR
(1)
-
This position gives you even more power (but
lower fuel economy) than SECOND GEAR (2).
You
can use
it
on
very
steep hills, or
in
deep snow or mud.
If
the selector lever is put
in
FIRST
GEAR
(1
j
while the vehicle is moving forward,
the
transmission won’t
shift
into
FIRST GEAR
(1)
until
the vehicle
is
going slowly enough.
NOTICE:
If
your rear wheels can’t rotate, don’t try to drive. This might
happen if you were stuck in very deep sand or mud
or
were up
against a solid object. You could damage your transmission.
Also,
if you stop when going uphill, don’t hold your vehicle there
with only the accelerator pedal. This could overheat and damage
the transmission. Use your brakes or shift into
PARK
(P)
to hold
your vehicle in position on a hill.
