Drive (overdrive deactivated)

Activate by pressing the

transmission control switch on the

end of the gearshift lever with the

gearshift lever in the D(Drive) position. The transmission with overdrive

off operates in gears one through four, providing more engine braking

than D(Drive) with Overdrive ON and is useful whenever driving

conditions (i.e., city traffic, hilly terrain, etc.) cause the transmission to

excessively shift between D (Overdrive) and other gears. Deactivate D

(Overdrive) when:

• driving with a heavy load.

• towing a trailer up or down steep hills.

• additional engine braking is desired. If towing a trailer, refer to

Driving while you tow in the Trailer Towing chapter.

To return to D (Overdrive) mode, press the transmission control switch

at the end of the gear shift lever. The TCIL will no longer be illuminated.

Each time the vehicle is started, the transmission will automatically

return to normal D (Overdrive) mode.

3 (Third)

Transmission operates in third gear

only.

Used for improved traction on

slippery roads. Selecting 3 (Third) provides engine braking.

2 (Second)

Use 2 (Second) to start-up on

slippery roads or to provide

additional engine braking on

downgrades.

1 (First)

Use 1 (First) to provide maximum

engine braking on steep

downgrades. Upshifts can be made

by shifting to 2 (Second) or to (Overdrive). Selecting 1 (Low) at higher

speeds causes the transmission to shift to a lower gear and will shift to 1

(First) after the vehicle decelerates to the proper vehicle speed.
