NOTE

l

When the ignition switch is in the
ACC or LOCK position, the shift
lever cannot be shifted from P.

l

If the brake is pumped with the shift
lever in P, a chattering near the shift
lever may be heard. This does not
indicate an abnormality.

l

To be sure the vehicle is in park,

the

ignition key cannot be removed
unless the shift lever is in P.

q

If the shift lever won't move from P using
the proper shift procedure, continue to
hold down the pedal.

with a screwdriver.

2. Insert a screwdriver and push it down.

Overdrive

Overdrive operation

In D, the transmission automatically shifts
to overdrive, which improves fuel
economy and reduces noise.

To allow engine braking when going
down a steep grade, make sure the
overdrive button is in the off position.

And for a smoother ride with less shifting,
don't use it when:

l

Going up a steep grade.

l

Driving in stop-and-go traffic.

l

Pulling heavy loads.

To turn off the overdrive, push the
button.

The transmission will then shift through a
3-gear sequence in D.
Shift patterns without overdrive:
D = 1st, 2nd, 3rd
2 = 2nd
1 = 1st

To turn it on, push the button again.

Shift patterns with overdrive:
