PRNDM21
Putting your vehicle in or out of gear:
1. Fully press the brake pedal.2. Move the gearshift lever into the
preferred gear.
3. When you finish driving, come to a
complete stop.
4. Move the gearshift lever and securely
latch it in park (P) or neutral (N).
The instrument cluster displays the current
gear.
Park (P)
If your transmission has a park (P) position,
this position locks the transmission and
prevents the rear wheels from turning.
Reverse (R)
With the gearshift lever in reverse (R), your
vehicle moves backward. Always come to
a complete stop before shifting into and
out of reverse (R).
Neutral (N)
With the gearshift lever in neutral (N), you
can start your vehicle and it is free to roll.
Hold the brake pedal down when in this
position.
Drive (D)
Drive (D) is the normal driving position for
the best fuel economy. The overdrive
function allows automatic upshifts and
downshifts through gears one through six.
Manual (M)
With the gearshift lever in manual (M), the
driver can change gears up or down as
preferred. By moving the gearshift lever
from drive (D) to manual (M), you now
have control of selecting the gear you
prefer using the buttons on the shift lever.
See Understanding Your SelectShift
Automatic™ Transmission later in this
section.
128
Transmission

To return to normal drive (D) position,
move the shift lever back from manual (M)
to drive (D).
The transmission operates in gears one
through six.
Second (2)
The transmission operates in second (2)
gear only. Use second (2) gear to just start
on slippery roads.
First (1)
• The transmission operates in first (1)
gear only.
• Provides maximum engine braking.
• Allows upshifts by moving gearshift
lever.
• Does not downshift into first (1) gear
at high speeds; allows for first (1) gear
when vehicle reaches slower speeds.
Forced downshifts
• Allowed in drive (D) with the tow/haul
feature on or off.
• Press the accelerator to the floor.
• Allows transmission to select an
appropriate gear.
Tow/Haul Mode
E161509
To activate tow/haul, press the
button on the gearshift lever
once. The TOW HAUL indicator
illuminates in the instrument cluster.The tow/haul feature:
• Delays upshifts to reduce the frequency
of transmission shifting.
• Provides engine braking in all forward
gears, which slows your vehicle and
assists you in controlling your vehicle
when descending a grade.
• Depending on driving and load
conditions, could downshift the
transmission to slow your vehicle and
help control your vehicle speed when
descending a hill, without pressing the
accelerator pedal. Tapping the brake
pedal downshifts the transmission to
provide additional braking, only if the
downshift does not cause an engine
overspeed condition.
The tow/haul feature improves
transmission operation when towing a
trailer or a heavy load. All transmission
gear ranges are available when using
tow/haul.
Note:Under certain conditions, the
automatic tow/haul feature engages, and
the TOW HAUL indicator illuminates
without pressing the tow/haul button.
To deactivate the tow/haul feature and
return to normal driving mode, press the
button on the gearshift lever twice. The
TOW HAUL indicator turns off. Tow/haul
also deactivates when you power down
your vehicle.
WARNING: Do not use tow/haul
when the road surface is slippery. Failure
to follow this instruction could result in
the loss of control of your vehicle.
WARNING: Do not use diesel
engine exhaust braking when the road
surface is slippery. Failure to follow this
instruction could result in the loss of
control of your vehicle.

Transmission

Understanding Your SelectShift™
Automatic Transmission
Your vehicle has a SelectShift automatic
transmission gearshift lever. SelectShift
automatic transmission gives you the
ability to change gears up or down, without
a clutch.
E318028E318028
Use the buttons on the shifter to lock or
unlock gears and manually select gears.
Press the (+) button to upshift or the (…)
button to downshift.
E163183
With the gearshift lever in drive (D), press
the (–) button to activate SelectShift. The
instrument cluster indicates the available
and selected gears.
All available gears display with the current
gear indicated. Press the (–) button again
to lock out gears beginning with the highest
gear. For example, press the (–) button
twice to lock out 6th and 5th gears. Only
the available gears display, and the
transmission shifts between the available
gears. Press the (+) button to unlock gears.
By moving the gearshift lever from the drive
(D) position to the manual (M) position,
you could now manually select the gear
you prefer. Only the current gear displays.
Press the (+) button or the (–) button to
upshift or downshift. If you press the (–)
button at a vehicle speed that would cause
an engine overspeed, the requested gear
flashes, then disappears, and the
transmission remains in the current gear.
Recommended shift speeds
Upshift according to the following chart:
Upshifts when accelerating (recommended for best fuel economy)
Diesel engines Gasoline engines Shift from:
12 mph (20 km/h) 15 mph (24 km/h) 1 – 2
19 mph (31 km/h) 25 mph (40 km/h) 2 – 3
26 mph (42 km/h) 40 mph (64 km/h) 3 – 4
34 mph (55 km/h) 45 mph (72 km/h) 4 – 5
46 mph (74 km/h) 50 mph (80 km/h) 5 – 6
130
Transmission

To prevent the engine from running at too
low an RPM, which could cause it to stall,
SelectShift still makes some downshifts
if it has determined that you have not
downshifted in time. Although SelectShift
makes some downshifts for you, it still
allows you to downshift at any time if the
SelectShift determines that there is no
damage to the engine from over-revving.
SelectShift does not automatically upshift,
even if the engine is approaching the RPM
limit. Shift manually by pressing the (+)
button.
Note:Engine damage could occur if you rev
the engine excessively and hold it without
shifting.
Progressive Range Selection (If
Equipped)
Progressive range selection gives you the
ability to lockout gears from the automatic
shifting range. This could provide you with
an improved driving experience, for
example, in slippery conditions or when
experiencing a steep slope.
With the gearshift lever in drive (D), press
the (–) button to activate progressive
range selection. The instrument cluster
indicates the available and selected gears.
All available gears display with the current
gear indicated. Press the (–) button again
to lock out gears beginning with the highest
gear. For example, press the (–) button
twice to lock out 6th and 5th gears. Only
the available gears display, and the
transmission shifts between the available
gears. Press the (+) button to unlock gears
to allow the transmission to shift to higher
gears. The transmission shifts within the
gear range you select.
Automatic Transmission at a Stop
(If Equipped)
Your transmission could reduce the load
on the engine when the vehicle stops, and
the gear selector is in drive (D) to reduce
fuel consumption and emissions. The
transmission resumes operation when you
release the brake. This feature activates
when the transmission is sufficiently
warmed, and the vehicle is on a level slope.
Automatic Transmission Adaptive
Learning
This feature could increase durability and
provide consistent shift feel over the life
of your vehicle. A new vehicle or
transmission may have firm shifts, soft
shifts, or both. This is normal and does not
affect the function or durability of the
transmission. Over time, the adaptive
learning process fully updates transmission
operation.
Brake-Shift Interlock
WARNING: Do not drive your
vehicle until you verify that the
stoplamps are working.
WARNING: When doing this
procedure, you need to take the
transmission out of park (P) which
means your vehicle can roll freely. To
avoid unwanted vehicle movement,
always fully apply the parking brake prior
to doing this procedure. Use wheel
chocks if appropriate.
WARNING: If the parking brake is
fully released, but the brake warning
lamp remains illuminated, the brakes
may not be working properly. Have your
vehicle checked as soon as possible.
131
Transmission

Push the palm release lever (A) on the
parking brake handle (B) and push down
as far as possible to release the brake.
Driving with the parking brake on causes
the brakes to wear out quickly and reduces
fuel economy.
We recommend you not use the parking
brake to stop a moving vehicle. However,
if the normal brakes fail, you can use the
parking brake to stop your vehicle in an
emergency. Since the parking brake only
applies retardation to the rear wheels, the
vehicle's stopping distance increases
greatly and the handling of your vehicle is
adversely affected.
Releasing Spring Manually
WARNING: Do not attempt to
disassemble the parking brake air
chamber under any circumstances as
this may cause serious injury.
WARNING: Block the wheels to
help prevent the vehicle from moving.
WARNING: Unexpected and
possibly sudden vehicle movement may
occur if you do not take these
precautions.
If you release hydraulic pressure from the
spring brake chamber, the power spring
applies the brake. If the hydraulic pressure
can be re-established, you must release
the spring brake in order to move your
vehicle.
Air Brakes (If Equipped)
WARNING: This control is for
parking only. Do not leave the vehicle
unattended after setting the parking
brake without placing the transmission
in park (P). We recommend using wheel
chocks for hilly or off-road
circumstances.
If the service brakes fail to operate while
your vehicle is moving, you can make an
emergency stop with the parking brake.
Since the parking brake only applies
stopping power to the rear wheels, your
vehicle’s stopping distance greatly
increases and the handling of your vehicle
is adversely affected. Make repairs
immediately to an inoperative air brake
system circuit.
E210341
