When this light comes on, the vehicle can only be shifted from 1 (First) to 4 (Fourth) instead of 1 (First) to 2 (Second).
The shift must be completed into 4 (Fourth) to turn off this feature. This helps the vehicle get the best possible fuel economy.
After shifting to 4 (Fourth), the vehicle can be downshifted to a lower gear.
Notice: Forcing the shift lever into any gear except 4 (Fourth) when the 1 TO 4 SHIFT light comes on may damage the transmission. Shift only from 1 (First) to 4 (Fourth) when the light comes on.
