• Provides additional grade

(engine) braking and extends

lower gear operation on uphill

climbs for hilly terrain or

mountainous areas.

• Provides additional engine

braking through the automatic

transmission shift strategy which

reacts to vehicle inputs (vehicle

acceleration, accelerator pedal,

brake pedal and vehicle speed).

• Allows the transmission to select

gears that will provide the desired engine braking based on the vehicle

inputs mentioned above. This will increase engine RPM during engine

braking.

• The grade assist lamp in the

instrument cluster is illuminated.

Grade assist is designed to aid the

driver with optimal gear selection in

hilly terrain or mountainous areas

but is not intended for normal operation. It is recommended that you

return to O/D (overdrive mode) on flat terrain to provide the best fuel

economy and transmission function.

To return to normal D (Drive) position (with O/D), press the

transmission control switch again.

• The grade assist lamp in the instrument cluster will not be illuminated.
