“N” Neutral

Shift to Neutral when the vehicle is standing for pro-

longed periods with the engine running. The engine may

be started in this range. Set the parking brake if you must

leave the vehicle.

“D” Drive

This position provides all forward gears, including 3rd

gear direct and 4th or 5th (if equipped) gear overdrive

(see Overdrive Operation). Use this range for most city

and highway driving.

“2” Second

Use this position for driving slowly in heavy city traffic

or on mountain roads where more precise speed control

is desirable. Use it also when climbing long grades, and

for engine braking when descending moderately steep

grades.

NOTE: Do not exceed maximum engine speed.

“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 maximum engine speed.

Overdrive Operation

The overdrive automatic transmission contains an elec-

tronically controlled fourth and fifth (if equipped) speed

(Overdrive). The transmission 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);
