While you accelerate, it is normal for the light
to
go
on and off if you
quickly change
the
position
of
the accelerator. Ignore the
SHIFT
light when
you downshift.
Four-Wheel-Drive Vehicles Only:
If
your vehicle
has
four-wheel drive
and
is
equipped with
a
manual transmission, disregard the
SHIFT
light
when the transfer case
is
in
4-LOW.
Manual Transmission
Shift
Speeds
If
your speed drops below
20
mph
(32
km/h), or
if
the engine is not running
smoothly,
you
should downshift
to
the next lower gear.
You
may have to
downshift two or more gears
to
keep the engine running smoothly
or
for
good performance.
A
CAUTION:
If
you
skip
more ;than one gear when you downshift, you
could
lose control
of
your vehicle.
And
you
could injure yourself
or
others. Don’t shift down
more
than one gear when
you
downshift.
NOTICE:
If
you skip more than one gear when you downshift, or if you
race the engine when you downshift, you can damage the engine,
clutch or transmission.
Locking
Rear Axle
If
you have
this
feature, your rear axle can give
you
additional traction
on
snow, mud, ice, sand or gravel.
It
works like a standard axle most of the
time, but when
one
of the rear wheels has
no
traction and
the
other does,
the
locking feature will allow the wheel with traction
to
move
the
vehicle.
