WARNING!

Do not coast in NEUTRAL and never turn off the

ignition to coast down a hill. These are unsafe

practices that limit your response to changing traffic

or road conditions. You might lose control of the

vehicle and have a collision.

CAUTION!

Towing the vehicle, coasting, or driving for any other

reason with the transmission in NEUTRAL can result

in severe transmission damage. Refer to “Recre-

ational Towing” in “Starting And Operating” and

“Towing A Disabled Vehicle” in “What To Do In

Emergencies” for further information.

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 underdrive first, second,

and third gears, direct fourth gear and overdrive fifth

gear. The DRIVE position provides optimum driving

characteristics under all normal operating conditions.

When frequent transmission shifting occurs (such as

when operating the vehicle under heavy loading condi-

tions, in hilly terrain, traveling into strong head winds, or

while towing heavy trailers), use the “AutoStick威” mode

(refer to “AutoStick威” in this section) to select a lower

gear. Under these conditions, using a lower gear will

improve performance and extend transmission life by

reducing excessive shifting and heat buildup.
