D (Drive) with Overdrive

The normal driving position for the best fuel economy. Transmission

operates in gears one through four.

D (Drive) without Overdrive

Overdrive can be deactivated by

pressing the transmission control

switch on the side of the gearshift

lever.

• This position allows for all

forward gears (1–3) except

overdrive.

• Provides engine braking.

• Use when driving conditions

cause excessive shifting from O/D

to other gears. Examples: heavy

city traffic where continuous

shifting in and out of overdrive

occurs, hilly terrain, heavy loads,

trailer towing and when engine

braking is required.

• O/D OFF lamp in the instrument

cluster is illuminated.

• To return to O/D (overdrive mode), press the transmission control

switch. The O/D OFF lamp in the instrument cluster will not be

illuminated.

• O/D (overdrive) is automatically returned each time the key is turned

off.

L (Low)

This position:

• Provides increased engine braking during downhill/mountain driving.

• Provides extended shift scheduling, allowing both upshifts and

downshifts, at a higher overall RPM to provide optimum engine

braking.

• Is not intended for use under extended or normal driving conditions

and results in lower fuel economy.
