Grade assist:

• 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.

Press the transmission control switch again to return to normal D

(Drive) position (with O/D).

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

• The transmission will operate in gears one through six.

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 co nditions

and results in lower fuel economy.

M (Manual) (if equipped)

Moving the gearshift lever to M (Manual):

• Provides additional grade (engine) braking and extends lower gear

operation to enhance performance for uphill climbs, hilly terrain or

mountainous areas. This will increase engine RPM during engine

braking.

• Provides additional lower gear operation through the automatic

transmission shift strategy which reacts to vehicle inputs (vehicle

acceleration, accelerator pedal, brake pedal and vehicle speed).

• Gears are selected more quickly and at higher engine speeds.

Note: The system will stay in M (Manual) until the gear shift lever is

moved into another gear for example P (park) or D (Drive).
