Eight-Speed Automatic Transmission

The transmission gear range (PRNDM) is displayed both

on the shift lever and in the Driver Information Display

(DID).
To select a gear range, press the lock button on the shift

lever and move the lever rearward or forward. You must

also press the brake pedal to shift the transmission out of

PARK, or to shift from NEUTRAL into DRIVE or RE-

VERSE when the vehicle is stopped or moving at low

speeds (refer to “Brake/Transmission Shift Interlock Sys-

tem” in this section). Select the DRIVE range for normal

driving.

The electronically-controlled transmission provides a

precise shift schedule. The transmission electronics are

self-calibrating; therefore, the first few shifts on a new

vehicle may be somewhat abrupt. This is a normal

condition, and precision shifts will develop within a few

hundred miles (kilometers).
