I NOTICE:
When you are shifting gears, don’t move the gear
shift lever around needlessly. This can damage
parts of the transmission and may require costly
repair. Shift directly into the next appropriate
I gear.
One to Four Light (Manual Transmission)
If your engine speed drops below 900 rpm, 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.
ONE TO
FOUR
When this light comes on,
you can only shift from
FIRST
(1) to FOURTH (4)
instead of FIRST (1) to
SECOND (2). You must
complete the shift into
FOURTH
(4) to deactivate
this feature. This helps you
get the best possible fuel
economy.
After shifting to FOURTH
(4), you may shift down to a
lower gear if you prefer.
