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 shift
lever is put in FIRST (1)' the transaxle won't shift into
first gear until the vehicle is going slowly enough.
NOTICE:
~~~~~~
~
If
your front 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 transaxle.
Also, if you stop when going uphill, don't hold
your vehicle there with only the accelerator
pedal. This could overheat and damage the
transaxle. Use
your
brakes
or
shift into PARK (P)
to hold your vehicle in position on a hill.
Shift Lock Release (Console Shift)
If your vehicle's battery should go dead, there are two override
access slots that will allow you to override park lock.
The first is located
underneath the steering
column below the lock
cylinder. To use this slot,
first remove the trim cap.
Insert
a
key or screwdriver
into the access slot and
press
the lock cylinder.
You will now be able to remove your key from the
ignition. Be sure to replace
the trim
cap
after
use.
If the car has a column mounted gear shift lever,
you will now also
be
able to shift your vehicle out
of PARK (P).
