Understanding the shift positions of the 5–speed automatic

transmission (if equipped - 5.4L and 6.8L gasoline engines only)

This vehicle is equipped with an adaptive Transmission Shift Strategy.

Adaptive Shift Strategy offers the optimal transmission operation and

shift quality. When the vehicle’s battery has been disconnected for any

type of service or repair, the transmission will need to relearn the normal

shift strategy parameters, much like having to reset your radio stations

when your vehicle battery has been disconnected. The Adaptive

Transmission 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:

• Start the engine

• Depress the brake pedal

• Move the gearshift lever into the desired gear
