Automatic Transmission
Drive (D
4
, D
3
) — These positions
are similar to D 5
, except when you
select the D
4
position, only the first
four gears are selected. When you
select D 5
, only the first three gears
are selected. D
4
can also keep the
transmission from cycling between
fourth and fifth gears in stop-and-go
driving, and D 3
can keep the
transmission from cycling between
third and fourth gears.
Use D 3
when towing a trailer in hilly
terrain, or to provide engine braking
when going down a steep hill. D 3
gives you more power and increased
engine braking.
For faster acceleration when in D 3
D
4
or D
5
, you can get the
transmission to automatically
downshift by pushing the accelerator
pedal to the floor. The transmission
will shift down one or two gears,
depending on your speed.
Second (2)
— This position locks
the transmission in second gear. It
does not downshift to first gear
when you come to a stop. Second
gives you more power when climbing,
and increased engine braking when
going down steep hills. Use second
gear when starting out on a slippery
surface or in deep snow. It will help
reduce wheelspin.
