WARNING:

Always set the parking brake fully and make sure

the gearshift is latched in P (Park). Turn the ignition to the off

position and remove the key whenever you leave your vehicle.

R (Reverse)

With the gearshift lever in R (Reverse), the vehicle will move backward.

Always come to a complete stop before shifting into and out of R

(Reverse).

N (Neutral)

With the gearshift lever in N (Neutral), the vehicle can be started and is

free to roll. Hold the brake pedal down while in this position.

D (Drive) with Overdrive

The normal driving position for the best fuel economy. Transmission

operates in gears one through six.

D (Drive) with Grade Assist

Pressing the transmission control

switch on the side of the gearshift

lever activates grade assist and

cancels overdrive.

Provides additional grade

(engine) braking and extends

lower gear operation on uphill

climbs for hilly terrain or

mountainous areas.

Provides additional engine

braking through the automatic

transmission shift strategy which

reacts to vehicle inputs (vehicle

acceleration, accelerator pedal,

brake pedal and vehicle speed).

Allows the transmission to select

gears that will provide the desired engine braking based on the vehicle

inputs mentioned above. This will increase engine RPM during engine

braking.
