If your vehicle gets stuck in mud or snow it may be
rocked out by shifting from forward and reverse
gears, stopping between shifts, in a steady pattern.
Press lightly on the accelerator in each gear.

Do not rock the vehicle if the engine is not at
normal operating temperature or damage to
the transmission may occur.

Do not rock the vehicle for more than a few
minutes or damage to the transmission and
tires may occur or the engine may overheat.

Always set the parking brake fully and make
sure the gearshift is latched in P (Park).

Turn the ignition to the LOCK position and remove
the key whenever you leave your vehicle.

If the parking brake is fully released, but the
brake warning lamp remains illuminated, the

brakes may not be working properly. See your
dealer or a qualified service technician.

Driving with an automatic overdrive
transmission with console gearshift and O/D off
switch

Your automatic
overdrive transmission
provides fully
automatic operation in
either D (Overdrive) or
with the O/D OFF
switch depressed.
Driving with the
gearshift lever in D
(Overdrive) gives the
best fuel economy for
normal driving
conditions. For manual control, start in 1 (First) and
then shift manually.
