WARNING:
Always set the parking brake fully and make sure
the gearshift is latched in P (Park). Turn the ignition to the off
position and remove the key whenever you leave your vehicle.
R (Reverse)
With the gearshift lever in R (Reverse), the vehicle will move backward.
Always come to a complete stop before shifting into and out of R
(Reverse).
N (Neutral)
With the gearshift lever in N (Neutral), the vehicle can be started and is
free to roll. Hold the brake pedal down while in this position.
D (Drive) with Overdrive Cancel and Grade Assist (if equipped)
Press the transmission control on the side of the gearshift lever to
activate grade assist.
The grade assist lamp in the
instrument cluster is illuminated.
Grade assist:
•
Improves driving experience in hilly terrain or mountainous areas by
providing additional grade (engine) braking and extends lower gear
operation on uphill climbs.
•
Provides additional engine braking through the automatic transmission
shift strategy which reacts to vehicle inputs (vehicle acceleration,
accelerator pedal, brake pedal and vehicle speed).
•
Allows the transmission to select gears that will provide the desired
engine braking based on the vehicle inputs mentioned above. This will
increase engine RPM during engine braking.
Grade assist is designed to provide optimal gear selection in hilly terrain
or mountainous areas. It is recommended that you return to grade assist
on flat terrain to provide the best fuel economy and transmission
function.
To return to grade assist, press the transmission control switch again.
•
The grade assist lamp in the instrument cluster will not be illuminated.
•
The transmission will operate in gears one through six.
Grade assist is automatically returned each time the key is turned off.
