When the Fuel Economy (ECO) Mode is engaged, the

vehicle control systems will change the following:

• The transmission will upshift sooner and downshift

later.

• The overall driving performance will be more conser-

vative.

• Some ECO mode functions may be temporarily inhib-

ited based on temperature and other factors.

Eight-Speed Automatic Transmission

The transmission is controlled using a rotary electronic

gear selector located on the center console. The transmis-

sion gear range (PRND) is displayed both above the gear

selector and in the Driver Information Display (DID). To

select a gear range, simply rotate the gear selector. You

must also press the brake pedal to shift the transmission

out of PARK, or to shift from NEUTRAL into DRIVE or

REVERSE when the vehicle is stopped or moving at low

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

tem” in this section). To shift past multiple gear ranges at

once (such as PARK to DRIVE), simply rotate the gear

selector to the appropriate detent. Select the DRIVE range

for normal driving.
