The normal driving position for the best fuel economy. Transmission

operates in gears one through six.

D (Drive) with Grade Assist (if equipped)

Press the transmission control

switch on the side of the gearshift

lever to activate grade assist.

Grade assist:

• Improves driving experience in hilly terrain or mountainous areas by

providing additional grade (engine) braking and extends lower gear

operation on uphill climbs.

• 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.

• The grade assist lamp in the instrument cluster is

illuminated.

Grade assist is designed to provide optimal gear selection in hilly terrain

or mountainous areas. It is recommended that you return to D (Drive)

on flat terrain to provide the best fuel economy and transmission

function.

Press the transmission control switch again to return to O/D (overdrive

mode).

• The grade assist lamp in the instrument cluster will not be illuminated.

• The transmission will operate in gears one through six.
