288 STARTING AND OPERATING A Reset feature allows the vehicle to be driven to a dealer for service without damaging the transmission. To reset the transmission, perform the following procedure: 1. Stop the vehicle. 2. Move the selector lever to the "P" (Park) position. 3. Turn off the engine; be sure to turn the key to the LOCK position. 4. Wait approximately 10 seconds, and then restart the engine. 5. Move the selector lever to the desired gear range. If the problem is no longer detected, the transmission will return to normal operation. If the problem persists, "P" (Park), "R" (Reverse), and "N" (Neutral) will continue to operate. Only Second gear range will operate in the "D" (Drive) position. Have the transmission checked at your authorized dealer as soon as possible. MANUAL TRANSMISSION - IF EQUIPPED Clutch Interlocking Ignition System Vehicles equipped with a manual transmission are equipped with a clutch interlock safety feature. The clutch pedal must be fully depressed to allow cranking of the engine. To enhance off-road performance, 4-wheel drive models equipped with a manual transmission will start with or without pressing the clutch pedal when in 4-wheel drive low range. The 4 LOW indicator light will illuminate when the transfer case is in 4-wheel drive low range.
