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 P ARK, 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.
The electronically-controlled transmission
adapts its shift schedule based on driver
inputs, along with environmental and road
conditions. The transmission electronics
are self-calibrating; therefore, the first few
shifts on a new vehicle may be somewhat
abrupt. This is a normal condition, and
precision shifts will develop within a few
hundred miles (kilometers).
Only shift from DRIVE to PARK or RE-
VERSE when the accelerator pedal is re-
leased and the vehicle is stopped. Be sure
to keep your foot on the brake pedal when
shifting between these gears.
The transmission gear selector has PARK, RE-
VERSE, NEUTRAL, DRIVE, and MANUAL
(Autostick) shift positions. Manual shifts can
be made using the Autostick shift control (re-
fer to “AutoStick” in this section for further
information). Toggling the gear selector forward (-) or rearward (+) while in the MANUAL
(AutoStick) position (beside the DRIVE position) will manually select the transmission gear, and
will display the current gear in the instrument cluster as M1, M2, M3, etc.
NOTE:
If the gear selector cannot be moved to the PARK, REVERSE, or NEUTRAL position (when
pushed forward) it is probably in the MANUAL (AutoStick, +/-) position (beside the DRIVE
position). In MANUAL (AutoStick) mode, the transmission gear is displayed in the
instrument cluster (as M1, M2, M3, etc.). Move the gear selector to the right (into the
DRIVE [D] position) for access to P ARK, REVERSE, and NEUTRAL.
