AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
WARNING: Always set the parking brake fully and make sure
the gearshift is latched in P (Park). Turn the ignition to the off
position and remove the key whenever you leave your vehicle.
WARNING: Do not use the tow 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 while coasting or decelerating. 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 front wheels from turning.
To shift your vehicle from P into gear:
Press the brake pedal
Move the gearshift lever into the desired gear
To put your vehicle in P (Park):
Come to a complete stop
Move the gearshift lever and securely latch it in P (Park)

Always come to a complete stop before shifting into and out of R
(Reverse).

free to roll. Hold the brake pedal down while in this position.
