“1” First

Use this position for driving up very steep hills and for

engine braking at low speeds (20 mph [32 km/h] or less)

when going downhill.

NOTE: Do not exceed a maximum engine speed of 5500

rpm.

Overdrive Operation

The overdrive automatic transmission contains an elec-

tronically controlled fourth speed (Overdrive). The trans-

mission will automatically shift from Drive to Overdrive

if the following conditions are present:

•

the transmission selector is in Drive;

•

the engine coolant has reached normal operating tem-

perature;

•

vehicle speed is above approximately 30 mph (48

km/h);

•

the “TOW/HAUL” switch has not been activated;

•

transmission has reached normal operating tempera-

ture.

NOTE: If the vehicle is started in extremely cold tem-

peratures, the transmission may not shift into Overdrive

and will automatically select the most desirable gear for

operation at this temperature. Normal operation will

resume when the transmission fluid temperature has

risen to a suitable level. Refer also to the Note under

torque converter clutch, later in this section.

If the transmission temperature gets extremely hot, the

transmission will automatically select the most desirable

gear for operation at this temperature. If the transmission

temperature becomes hot enough the TRANS TEMP light

may illuminate and the transmission may downshift out

of Overdrive until the transmission cools down. After

cooldown, the transmission will resume normal opera-

tion.
