AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
WARNINGS
Always set the parking brake fully and
make sure you shift the gearshift lever
to park (P). Switch the ignition off and remove
the key whenever you leave your vehicle.
Do not use the tow/haul feature when
driving in icy or slippery conditions as
the increased engine braking can cause the
rear wheels to slide and your vehicle to
swing around with the possible loss of
vehicle control.
Understanding the Shift Positions of
your Automatic Transmission

Putting your vehicle in or out of gear:
1. Fully press down the brake pedal.
2. Move the gearshift lever into the desired
gear.
3. Come to a complete stop.
4. Move the gearshift lever and securely
latch it in park (P).
Park (P)
This position locks the transmission and
prevents the rear wheels from turning.
Reverse (R)
With the gearshift lever in reverse (R), your
vehicle will move backward. Always come
to a complete stop before shifting into and
out of reverse (R).
Neutral (N)
With the gearshift lever in neutral (N), your
vehicle can be started and is free to roll. Hold
the brake pedal down while in this position.
Drive (D)
Drive (D) is the normal driving position for
the best fuel economy. The overdrive
function allows automatic upshifts and
downshifts through gears one through six.
Manual (M)
With the gearshift lever in manual (M), you
can change gears up or down as desired by
using buttons on the shift lever. See
Understanding your SelectShift Automatic™
transmission later in this section.
