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).
Only shift from DRIVE to PARK or REVERSE when the
accelerator pedal is released and the vehicle is stopped.
Be sure to keep your foot on the brake pedal when
shifting between these gears.
The transmission gear selector has only PARK, RE-
VERSE, NEUTRAL, and DRIVE shift positions. Manual
shifts can be made using the AutoStick shift control (shift
paddles mounted on the steering wheel). Pressing the
shift paddles (-/+) while in the DRIVE range will manu-
ally select the transmission gear, and will display the
current gear in the instrument cluster. Refer to
“AutoStick” in this section for further information.

DO NOT race the engine when shifting from PARK or
