• 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.

• The transmission will operate in gears one through six.

O/D (overdrive mode) is automatically returned each time the engine is

turned off.

L (Low)

• Provides maximum engine braking.

• Will downshift to the lowest available gear for the current vehicle

speed; allows for first gear when vehicle reaches slower speeds.

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

and results in lower fuel economy.

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 between forward and reverse gears, stopping between shifts in a

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

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

temperature or damage to the transmission may occur.

Note: 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

Manual transmission vehicles have a starter interlock that prevents

cranking the engine unless the clutch pedal is fully pressed.

To start the vehicle:

1. Make sure the parking brake is fully set.
