Understanding gearshift positions
The Select Shift Transmission (SST) Shifter allows the driver to select
between the transmission’s automatic shift mode or the manually
selected shift mode.
Automatic shift mode
When in the automatic shift mode
(D5 position), the 5–speed
automatic transmission operates like
a typical automatic transmission.
Pull the gearshift lever towards you
and downward to move the
automatic gearshift.
Refer to
Driving with a 5–speed
automatic transmission
in this
chapter for Park, Reverse, Neutral,
D5 and D4 information.
Manual shift mode
With the gearshift lever in D5
(Overdrive), the gearshift lever can
be moved to the right and into the
manual shift mode. The transmission
will remain in the manual shift mode
until the gearshift lever is moved
back to D5 (Overdrive).
