D (Drive) with Overdrive

The normal driving position for the
best fuel economy. Transmission
operates in gears one through four.

D (Drive) without Overdrive

D (Drive) with Overdrive can be
deactivated by pressing the
transmission control switch (TCS)
on the end of the gearshift lever.

The transmission control indicator
light (TCIL) will illuminate in the
instrument cluster.

Transmission operates in gears one through three. D (Drive) without
Overdrive provides more engine braking than D (Drive) with Overdrive
and is useful when:

• driving with a heavy load.
• towing a trailer up or down steep hills.
• additional engine downhill braking is desired. If towing a trailer, refer

to Driving while you tow in the Trailer towing section.

To return to D (Drive) with Overdrive mode, press the transmission
control switch (TCS). The TCIL will no longer be illuminated.

Each time the vehicle is started, the transmission will automatically
return to normal overdrive mode.

Every time the vehicle is shut off and restarted, you must press the
transmission control switch to cancel overdrive operation if driving in
overdrive is not desired.

2 (Second)

Use 2 (Second) to start-up on
slippery roads or to provide
additional engine braking on
downgrades.
