Using "H" Gate: Notes

NOTE: Always leave the vehicle with the gear selector lever in "P" position when parked, even when the starter key is not removed. Failure to do so will result in the battery discharging.

To make a change from high to low or vice versa, the vehicle must be stationary.

Apply the brakes and select N.
Move the gear selector lever into the crosspiece of the "H" gate and select the new gear range, the panel illumination will flash before becoming constant and an audible warning will sound.
When the illumination is constant select the gear required.

If a gear is selected before the gear transfer is complete, a clunk or grinding sound will be heard because the electric shift motor has not completed the operation. If this occurs and the panel illumination continues to flash, reselect neutral and try again when the illumination becomes constant. If the vehicle is moving when a transfer gear change is attempted, the message center will display SLOW DOWN. If an attempt is made to change the gear range with the gear selector lever out of neutral, SELECT NEUTRAL will be displayed.
