Six-Speed Automatic Transmission

The transmission gear position display (located in the

instrument cluster) indicates the transmission gear range.

You must press the brake pedal to move the shift lever

out of PARK (Refer to “Brake/Transmission Shift Inter-

lock System” in this section). To drive, move the shift

lever from PARK or NEUTRAL to the DRIVE position.
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.
