FIRST GEAR (1) - This position gives you even more power (but lower fuel economy) than SECOND GEAR (2). You can use it on very steep hills, or in deep snow or mud. If the selector lever is put in FIRST GEAR (1) while the vehicleis moving forward, the transmission won't shift into FIRST GEAR (1) until the vehicle is going slowlyenough. NOTICE: If your rearwheels can't rotate, don't try to drive. This might happen if you were stuck in very deep sand or mud were up or against a solid object. You could damage your transmission. Also, if you stop when going uphill, don't hold your vehicle there with only the acceleratorpedal. This couldoverheat and damage the transmission.
