Understanding the Shift Positions of the 5–Speed Automatic

Transmission (If Equipped - 5.4L and 6.8L Gasoline Engines Only)

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.

WARNING: Do not use the tow/haul feature when driving in icy

or slippery conditions as the increased engine braking can cause

the rear wheels to slide and the vehicle to swing around with the

possible loss of vehicle control.

Your vehicle has been designed to improve fuel economy by reducing

fuel usage during coasting or deceleration. When you take your foot off

the accelerator pedal and the vehicle begins to slow down the torque

converter clutch locks up and aggressively shuts off fuel flow to the

engine while decelerating. This fuel economy benefit may be perceived

as a light to medium braking sensation when removing your foot from

the accelerator pedal.

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).

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).
