“D” (Drive)

This range should be used for most city and highway

driving. It provides the smoothest upshifts and down-

shifts and the best fuel economy.

The transmission automatically upshifts through fifth

gear. The “D” (Drive) position provides optimum driving

characteristics under all normal operating conditions.

When frequent transmission shifting occurs when using

the Overdrive range, such as when operating the vehicle

under heavy loading conditions (in hilly terrain, travel-

ing into strong head winds, or while towing heavy

trailers, use the AutoStickt mode and select the “3”

range.

AutoStickt Gear selection

The AutoStickt feature can be selected by pressing the

selector lever to the right or the left with the lever in the

“D” (Drive) position. The gear currently selected is

indicated in the instrument cluster display. Briefly, press

the selector lever in the “D -” direction and the transmis-

sion will shift from the current gear to the next lower

gear.

Pressand hold the selector leverin the“D-” directionand

the transmission will shift from the current gear directly

to the next lowest gear for best acceleration.

NOTE: To avoid overrevving the engine when the

selector lever is moved in “D -” direction, the transmis-

sion will not shift to a lower gear if the engine’s revolu-

tions per minute (RPM) limit would be exceeded.

Briefly, press the selector lever in the “D +” direction and

the transmission will shift from the current gear to the

next higher gear.

Press and hold the selector lever in the “D +” direction

and the transmission will shift from the current gear

directly to gear “D.”
