AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONThe automatic transmission in your vehicle is
electronically controlled by a transmission con-
trol module to produce maximum power and
smooth operation.
Shown on the following pages are the recom-
mended operating procedures for this transmis-
sion. Follow these procedures for maximum ve-
hicle performance and driving enjoyment. If your
vehicle is equipped with four wheel drive, see
“Using four wheel drive” later in this section.
After starting the engine, fully depress the
foot brake pedal and push the selector lever
button before shifting the selector lever to the
R, N, D, 2 or 1 position. Be sure the vehicle is
fully stopped before attempting to shift the
selector lever.
This automatic transmission is designed
so that the foot brake pedal MUST be
depressed before shifting from P to any
drive position while the ignition switch is
ON.
The selector lever cannot be moved out of
P and into any of the other gear positions if
the ignition key is turned to LOCK or if the
key is removed from the switch.
1. Keep the foot brake pedal depressed andpush the selector lever button to shift into a
driving gear.
2. Release the parking brake and foot brake,
then gradually start the vehicle in motion.
WARNING
Do not depress the accelerator pedal
while shifting from P or Nto R, D, 2 or
1. Always depress the brake pedal
until shifting is completed. Failure to
do so could cause you to lose control
and have an accident.
Cold engine idle speed is high, so use
caution when shifting into a forward
or reverse gear before the engine has
warmed up.
Never shift to P or R while the vehicle
is moving forward. Never shift to P or
D while vehicle is moving rearward.
These could cause an accident.
On slippery roads, do not downshift.
This may cause a loss of control.
CAUTION
When stopping the vehicle on an uphill
grade, do not hold the vehicle by de-
pressing the accelerator pedal. The foot
brake should be used for this purpose.
