In the event of a momentary problem, the transmission

can be reset to regain all forward gears by performing the

following steps:
1. Stop the vehicle.
2. Shift the transmission into PARK, if possible. If not,

shift the transmission to NEUTRAL.

3. Press and hold the ignition switch until the engine

turns OFF.

4. Wait approximately 30 seconds.
5. Restart the engine.
6. Shift into the desired gear range. If the problem is no

longer detected, the transmission will return to normal

operation.

NOTE:

Even if the transmission can be reset, we recom-

mend that you visit your authorized dealer at your

earliest possible convenience. Your authorized dealer has

diagnostic equipment to determine if the problem could

recur. If the transmission cannot be reset, authorized

dealer service is required.
Torque Converter Clutch
A feature designed to improve fuel economy has been

included in the automatic transmission on your vehicle.

A clutch within the torque converter engages automati-

cally at calibrated speeds. This may result in a slightly

different feeling or response during normal operation in

the upper gears. When the vehicle speed drops or during

some accelerations, the clutch automatically disengages.
