Drive
The transmission automatically upshifts through FIFTH
gear. The DRIVE position provides optimum driving
characteristics under all normal operating conditions.
AutoStickTGear selection
The transmission gear can be selected by pressing the
shift lever to the right or the left with the shift lever in the
DRIVE position. The gear currently selected is indicated
in the instrument cluster display. Briefly press shift lever
in the ªD-º direction. The transmission will shift from the
current gear to the next lower gear. Shifting into another
gear that allows for quicker acceleration or to slow the
vehicle down is possible. Downshifts can also be per-
formed.Press and hold the shift lever in the ªD-º direction. The
transmission will shift from the current gear directly to
the best gear for acceleration.
NOTE:To avoid over-revving the engine when the shift
lever is moved in ªD-º direction, the transmission will
not shift to a lower gear if the engine's revolutions per
minute limit would be exceeded.
Briefly press the shift lever in the ªD+º direction. The
transmission will shift from the current gear to the next
higher gear.
Press and hold the shift lever in the ªD+º direction. The
transmission will shift from the current gear directly to
gear ªD.º
178 STARTING AND OPERATING

CAUTION!
The TPM system is designed to monitor your tire
pressure and will not function as a tire pressure
gauge. After adjusting the air pressure in a tire, there
will be a delay before the system updates the display.
The system will automatically update and the Tire
Pressure Monitoring Indicator Light will turn off,
once the system receives the updated tire pressures.
The vehicle needs to be driven above 20 mph in order
for the TPMS to receive this information.The TPMS will cause the indicator light in the instrument
cluster to illuminate whenever the pressure in one tire
falls 25% below the recommended pressure shown on the
vehicle's tire label.
The TPMS will cause the indicator light to flash for
approximately one minute and then remain continuously
illuminated whenever the system detects a TPMS mal-
function.
NOTE:The pressure in your tires changes with tem-
perature. A significant decrease in temperature could
reduce cold inflation pressure below the TPMS set-point.
For example, tires inflated to the proper cold inflation
pressure on a warm day or in a warm garage could
illuminate the TPMS indicator light on the following day
216 STARTING AND OPERATING

MAINTENANCE SCHEDULES
There are two maintenance schedules that show the
requiredservice for your vehicle.
Schedule ªAº typically rotates with Schedule ªB.º Follow
Schedule ªAº after the first service interval, Schedule ªBº
after the second service interval, and so on. In some cases
where the service interval has been extended due to very
light duty driving, a Schedule ªBº service may be indi-
cated following a previous Schedule ªBº service. There
are additional service tasks required under Schedule ªB.º
Your Flexible Service System (FSS) Ð see Understanding
Your Instrument Panel section Ð should give you an
exact indication of when your vehicle should be sched-
uled for service and which schedule to follow.
Additional Periodic Maintenanceitems should also be
performed beyond the items listed in the following charts
to assure the optimum performance of your vehicle.
SCOPE OF WORK FOR ªAº SCHEDULE
