Gear Ranges

“P” PARK

NOTE:

If the key is in the ON/RUN position, you must

press the brake pedal to shift out of the PARK position.

PARK supplements the parking brake by locking the
transmission. The engine can be started in this range.
Never attempt to use PARK while the vehicle is in motion.

Apply the parking brake when leaving the vehicle in this
range.

“R” REVERSE

Shift into this range only after the vehicle has come to a
complete stop.

“N” NEUTRAL

The engine may be started in this range. Use this range
for starting your vehicle if it is moving or being towed.

“D” OVERDRIVE

This range should be used for most city and highway
driving. It provides the smoothest upshifts and down-
shifts and best fuel economy.

Program mode selector switch

The transmission is provided with a selector switch for
Standard “S” and Winter/Wet “W” (snow and ice) pro-
gram modes.

For standard mode, press the “S” symbol on the switch.
Use this mode for all regular driving. The vehicle starts
out in FIRST gear.

Depressing the accelerator pedal rapidly or nearly to the
floor while driving (kickdown position), rather than
depressing the accelerator pedal in slow, small move-
ments, will cause the automatic transmission to shift
