FEATURES AND CONTROLS

Automatic Transmission Gear Selector

The transmission gear selector is located
on the right side of the vehicle.
H: High Gear
L: Low Gear
N: Neutral
R: Reverse
P: Park

To shift gears, brake to a complete stop.
When the engine is idling, move the lever
to the desired gear.

NOTICE: Shifting gears with the engine speed above idle or while the vehicle is

moving could cause transmission damage.

Always place the transmission in park and lock the parking brake when-
ever the vehicle is left unattended.

Belt Life

To extend belt life, use low forward gear in heavy pulling situations and
when operating at less than 7 mph (11 km/h) for extended periods of
time.

Fuel Tank Cap

Always refuel with the engine
stopped, and outdoors or in a well
ventilated area. Refuel on a level
surface.

Remove the fuel tank cap to add
fuel to the fuel tank. Use either
leaded or unleaded gasoline with a
minimum pump octane number of
87=(R+ M/2) octane. Do not use
E-85 fuel.
