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)
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.
