To change gears, stop the vehicle and with the engine idling,
move the lever to the desired gear. Shifting gears with the engine
speed above idle or while the vehicle is moving could cause

Always place the transmission in gear with the parking brake
locked whenever the vehicle is left unattended.
Maintaining shift linkage adjustment is important to assure proper
transmission function. Should you experience any shifting
problem see your dealer.
