D (Drive): This position is for normal driving. It provides

the best fuel economy. If you need more power for

passing, and you are:

• Going less than about 35 mph (55 km/h), push the

accelerator pedal about halfway down.

• Going about 35 mph (55 km/h) or more, push the

accelerator all the way down.

You will shift down to the next gear and have more

power.

Downshifting the transmission in slippery road conditions

could result in skidding, see “Skidding” under Loss of

Control on page 4-11.

3 (Third): This position is also used for normal driving.

However it reduces vehicle speed more than D (Drive)

without using the brakes. You might choose 3 (Third)

instead of D (Drive) when driving on hilly, winding roads,

when towing a trailer, so there is less shifting between

gears and when going down a steep hill.

You should use 3 (Third) (or a lower gear as needed)

when towing a trailer to minimize heat build-up and

extend the life of the transmission.

2 (Second): This position reduces vehicle speed even

more than 3 (Third) without using the brakes. You can

use 2 (Second) on hills. It can help control vehicle speed

as you go down steep mountain roads, but then you

would also want to use the brakes off and on.

You may use this feature for reducing torque to the rear

wheels when you are trying to start the vehicle from

a stop on slippery road surfaces.

1 (First): This position reduces vehicle speed even

more than 2 (Second) without using the brakes. You can

use it on very steep hills, or in deep snow or mud.

If the shift lever is put in 1 (First) while the vehicle is

moving forward, the transmission will not shift into ﬁrst

gear until the vehicle is going slowly enough.

Notice: Spinning the tires or holding the vehicle

in one place on a hill using only the accelerator

pedal may damage the transmission. The repair will

not be covered by the vehicle warranty. If you are

stuck, do not spin the tires. When stopping on a hill,

use the brakes to hold the vehicle in place.
