The adaptive transmission shift strategy allows the transmission to

relearn these operating parameters. This learning process could take

several transmission upshifts and downshifts; during this learning

process, slightly firmer shifts may occur. After this learning process,

normal shift feel and shift scheduling will resume.

P (Park)

This position locks the transmission and prevents the rear wheels from

turning.

To put your vehicle in gear:

1. Start the engine

2. Press the brake pedal

3. Move the gearshift lever into the desired gear

To put your vehicle in P (Park):

1. Come to a complete stop

2. Move the gearshift lever and securely latch it in P (Park)

WARNING: Always set the parking brake fully and make sure

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

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).

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 (Overdrive) with tow/haul off is the normal driving position for the

best fuel economy. The overdrive function allows automatic upshifts and

downshifts through gears one through five.

D (Overdrive) with Tow/Haul on

The tow/haul feature improves transmission operation when towing a

trailer or a heavy load. All transmission gear ranges are available when

using tow/haul.
