When to use
j
(Overdrive)

[DR09600(ALL)04/95]
This is the normal driving position. As the vehicle picks up
speed, automatic upshifts to second, third and fourth gears will
occur when
j
Overdrive is chosen on the selector and the
transmission control switch has not been pressed. The
transmission will shift into the correct gear when the right
speed is achieved, for the accelerator pedal position you have
chosen.

When to use Drive
[DR09800(ALL)06/95]
You will note there is not a drive position on your gearshift
indicator. However, you will find a transmission control switch
labeled O/D ON/OFF located on the end of the gearshift lever.
Press this switch and the O/D OFF indicator light will
illuminate on the instrument cluster. With overdrive cancelled
and the O/D OFF indicator light illuminated, the transmission
will operate in gears one through three. This is useful if you
experience frequent downshift/upshift conditions, when
operating with a heavy load or in hilly terrain, or if additional
engine braking is useful. However, shift back to
j
(Overdrive)
whenever practical for optimum powertrain cooling and fuel
economy. This can be accomplished by pushing the transmission
control switch again, to cancel the O/D OFF control and light.
