Each time the vehicle is started, the transmission will automatically

return to normal Overdrive mode.

Every time the vehicle is shut off and restarted, you must press the

transmission control switch to cancel overdrive operation if the Overdrive

mode is not desired.

2 (Second)

Use 2 (Second) to start-up on

slippery roads or to provide

additional engine braking on

downgrades.

1 (First)

Use 1 (Low) to provide maximum

engine braking on steep

downgrades. Upshifts can be made

by shifting to 2 (Second) or to

Overdrive. Selecting 1 (Low) at

higher speeds causes the transmission to shift to a lower gear, and will

shift to 1 (Low) after vehicle decelerates to the proper speed.

TRACTION-LOK AXLE (IF EQUIPPED)

This axle provides added traction on slippery surfaces, particularly when

one wheel is on a poor traction surface. Under normal conditions, the

Traction-Lok axle functions like a standard rear axle.

Extended use of other than the manufacturer’s specified size tires on a

Traction-Lok rear axle could result in a permanent reduction in

effectiveness. This loss of effectiveness does not affect normal driving

and should not be noticeable to the driver.

To avoid injury, never run the engine with one wheel off the

ground, such as when changing a tire.

Before loading a vehicle, familiarize yourself with the following terms:
