Shifting the 5 or 6 Speed
The fully synchronized manual transmission is very easy to shift up
or down. When you slow down for traffic, steep hills, or corners,
shift to a lower gear before the engine starts to labor. When de-
scending steep grades, select a lower gear to help maintain a safe
speed and to prevent the brakes from overheating.
When shifting, depress the clutch pedal fully, shift gears and then
release the clutch gradually. Do not speed-shift; allow time for the
gears to synchronize.
To prevent grinding the gears when shifting into reverse, hold the
clutch pedal depressed briefly before shifting, or shift the lever into
one of the forward gears before selecting reverse.
A safety lockout prevents accidental shifting straight from 5th to
Reverse.
SL-Super Low Gear (4WD)
This super low ratio gear reduces the possibility of spinning the
wheels when accelerating on roads covered with snow, sand or
mud, or on steep hills.
Avoid rapid acceleration or sudden deceleration when either or
both driving wheels are on a slippery surface. Decreased traction
could cause loss of directional control.
CAUTION:
When downshifting to SL, do so only at speeds of 3 mph (5km/h)
or less and release the clutch gradually to avoid any sudden engine
over-revving.
