The normal driving position for the

best fuel economy. Transmission

operates in gears one through five.

(Overdrive) can be deactivated

by pressing the transmission control

switch on the end of the gearshift

lever.

Drive

– Not shown on the display. Activate by pressing the transmission

control switch on the end of the gearshift lever with the gearshift in
the

(Overdrive) position. The TCIL will illuminate on the instrument

cluster. Transmission operates in gears one through four. Drive (O/D
OFF) provides more engine braking than

(Overdrive) and is useful

whenever driving conditions (i.e., city traffic, hilly terrain, etc.) cause the
transmission to excessively shift between

(Overdrive) and other

gears. Deactivate

(Overdrive) when:

•

driving with a heavy load.

•

towing a trailer up or down steep hills.

•

additional engine braking is desired. If towing a trailer, refer to

Driving while you tow

in the

Trailer Towing

section.

To return to

(Overdrive) mode, press the transmission control

switch. The TCIL will no longer be illuminated.
Each time the vehicle is started, the transmission will automatically
return to normal

(Overdrive) mode.

2 (Second)

Use 2 (Second) to start-up on

slippery roads or to provide

additional engine braking on

downgrades.
