CAUTION!
Damage to the transmission may occur if the
following precautions are not observed:
• Shift into or out of PARK or REVERSE only
after the vehicle has come to a complete
stop.
• Do not shift between P ARK, REVERSE,
NEUTRAL, or DRIVE when the engine is
above idle speed.
• Before shifting into any gear, make sure
your foot is firmly pressing the brake pedal.
NOTE:
You must press and hold the brake pedal while
shifting out of PARK.
Eight-Speed Automatic Transmission
The transmission gear range (PRNDM) is dis-
played both on the gear selector and in the
instrument cluster.
To select a gear range, press the lock button on
the gear selector and move the selector rearward
or forward. To shift the transmission out of
PARK, the engine must be running and the
brake pedal must be pressed. Y ou must also
press the brake pedal to shift from NEUTRAL
into DRIVE or REVERSE when the vehicle is
stopped or moving at low speeds. Select the
DRIVE range for normal driving.
NOTE:
In the event of a mismatch between the gear
selector position and the actual transmission
gear (for example, driver selects P ARK while
driving), the position indicator will blink con-
tinuously until the selector is returned to the
proper position, or the requested shift can be
completed.
The electronically-controlled transmission
adapts its shift schedule based on driver inputs,
along with environmental and road conditions.
