Reverse (R)
Reverse (R) is used to back the vehicle. When the
selector is in Reverse (R), the reverse warning signal
will sound. Always bring the vehicle to a complete
stop before shifting from a forward range to Reverse
(R), or from Reverse (R) to a forward range.
Extended idling in Reverse (R) may cause trans-
mission overheating and damage.
Do not idle in Reverse (R) for more than 5 minutes.
Select Park (P), Auto-Apply Parking Brake (PB), or
Neutral (N) when time at idle exceeds 5 minutes.
NOTE: The shift into Reverse (R) may not suc-
ceed if a range inhibitor is active. Check for illu-
mination of the RANGE INHIBIT indicator.
Neutral (N)
The Neutral (N) position places the transmission in
Neutral (N). This position is used when starting the
f261381
engine and for stationary operation.
Failure to apply the vehicle parking brakes when
the transmission is in neutral may allow the ve-
hicle to move unexpectedly, possibly causing
property damage or personal injury.
When Neutral (N) is selected, the vehicle service
brakes, or parking brake must be applied. Selecting
Neutral (N) does not apply vehicle brakes unless an
auxiliary system to apply the parking brake is in-
stalled.
Do not coast in neutral. Coasting in neutral can
cause an accident, possibly resulting in severe
personal injury or death.
Do not let the vehicle coast in Neutral (N). If the ve-
hicle is allowed to coast in Neutral (N), you could
lose control of the vehicle.
