The electronically-controlled transmission adapts its shift

schedule based on driver inputs, along with environmental

and road conditions. The transmission electronics are self-

calibrating; therefore, the first few shifts on a new vehicle

may be somewhat abrupt. This is a normal condition, and

precision shifts will develop within a few hundred miles

(kilometers).
Only shift from DRIVE to PARK or REVERSE when the

accelerator pedal is released and the vehicle is stopped. Be

sure to keep your foot on the brake pedal when shifting

between these gears.
The transmission gear selector has only PARK, REVERSE,

NEUTRAL, and DRIVE shift positions. Manual shifts can

be made using the Autostick shift control. Moving the gear

selector to the left or right (-/+) while in the DRIVE

position will manually select the transmission gear and

will display the current gear in the instrument cluster as 1,

2, 3, etc. Refer to “AutoStick” in this section for further

information.

Gear Ranges

Do not depress the accelerator pedal when shifting from

PARK or NEUTRAL into another gear range.
