WARNING: Do not drive your vehicle until you verify that the

brake lamps are working.

WARNING: Always set the parking brake fully and make sure

the gearshift is latched in P (Park). Turn the ignition to the off

position and remove the key whenever you leave your vehicle.

WARNING: If the parking brake is fully released, but the brake

warning lamp remains illuminated, the brakes may not be

working properly. See your authorized dealer as soon as possible.

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION OPERATION

Automatic transmission adaptive learning

Your transmission is equipped with an adaptive learning strategy found in

the vehicle computer. This feature is designed to increase durability and

provide consistent shift feel over the life of the vehicle. A new vehicle or

transmission may have firm and/or soft shifts. This operation is

considered normal and will not affect function or durability of the

transmission. Over time, the adaptive learning process will fully update

transmission operation. Additionally, whenever the battery is

disconnected or a new battery installed, the strategy must be relearned.

Understanding the gearshift positions of the 6–speed automatic

transmission with transmission control switch (if equipped)

Your vehicle has been designed to improve fuel economy by reducing

fuel usage while coasting or decelerating. When you take your foot off

the accelerator pedal and the vehicle begins to slow down, the torque

converter clutch locks up and aggressively shuts off fuel flow to the

engine while decelerating. This fuel economy benefit may be perceived

as a light to medium braking sensation when removing your foot from

the accelerator pedal.
