SECOND
(2):
This position gives you more power but
lower fuel economy. You can use SECOND
(2)
on hills.
It can help control your speed as you go down steep
mountain roads, but then you would also want to use
your brakes off and on.
FIRST
(1):
This position gives you even more power
(but lower fuel economy) than SECOND
(2).
You can
use
it
on very steep hills, or in deep snow or mud. If the
selector lever is put in FIRST
(l),
the transmission
won’t shift into first gear 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.
Maximum engine speed is limited to protect driveline
components from improper operation.
