If you exceed the maximum speed
for the gear you are in, the engine
speed will enter into the tachometer’s
red zone. If this occurs, you may feel
the engine cut in and out. This is
caused by a limiter in the engine’s
computer controls. The engine will
run normally when you reduce the
RPM below the red zone.
When driving down hill with a trailer,
use the Second position.
To shift from Second
to First, pull the shift lever
towards you, then shift to the
lower gear. With the lever in this
position, the transmission locks in
First gear. By upshifting and
downshifting through 1, 2, D and
D, you can operate this
transmission much like a manual
transmission without a clutch
pedal.
This allows you to move the shift
lever out of Park if the normal
method of pushing on the brake
pedal and pulling the shift lever does
not work.
Set the Parking brake.
Make sure the key is in the
ignition switch LOCK (0) position.
To shift to Second,
pull the shift lever towards you, then
shift to the lower gear. This position
locks the transmission in second
gear. It does not downshift to first
gear when you come to a stop.
Second gives you more power when
climbing, and increased engine
braking when going down steep hills.
