Owner's Manual

Shift Light

If you have a manual

transmission, you may

have a

SHIFT

light.

This light will show

you when to shift to

the next higher gear

for best fuel economy.

When this light comes on, you can shift to the next higher gear if weather,

road and traffic conditions let you. For the best fuel economy, accelerate

slowly and shift when the light comes on.

While you accelerate, it is normal for the light to go on and off if you

quickly change the position of the accelerator. Ignore the

SHIFT

light when

you downshift.

Four-Wheel-Drive Vehicles Only:

If your vehicle has four-wheel drive

and is equipped with a manual transmission, disregard the shift light when

the transfer case is in

4-LOW.

Manual Transmissions- Shift

Speeds

If your speed drops below

mph

(32

lun/h),

or if the engine is not running

smoothly, you should downshift to the next lower gear. You may have to

downshift two or more gears to keep the engine running smoothly or for

good performance.
