Shift strategy (4R100 automatic transmission)

To account for customer driving habits and conditions, your 4R100

automatic transmission electronically controls the shift quality by using

an adaptive learning strategy. The adaptive learning strategy is

maintained by power from the battery. When the battery is disconnected

or a new battery is installed, the transmission must relearn its adaptive

strategy. Optimal shifting will resume within a few hundred kilometers

(miles) of operation.

If the shift quality does not improve within a few hundred

kilometers (miles) of operation, or if the downshifts and other

throttle conditions do not function normally, see your dealer or a

qualified service technician as soon as possible.

If your vehicle gets stuck in mud or snow

If your vehicle gets stuck in mud or snow, it may be rocked out by

shifting from forward and reverse gears, stopping between shifts in a

steady pattern. Press lightly on the accelerator in each gear.

Do not rock the vehicle if the engine is not at normal operating

temperature or damage to the transmission may occur.

Do not rock the vehicle for more than a minute or damage to the

transmission and tires may occur, or the engine may overheat.

MANUAL TRANSMISSION OPERATION (IF EQUIPPED)

Using the clutch

The manual transmission has a starter interlock that prevents cranking

the engine unless the clutch pedal is fully depressed.

To start the vehicle:

1. Make sure the parking brake is fully set.

2. Press the clutch pedal to the floor, then put the gearshift lever in the

neutral position.
