I (Intermediate): This position is also used for normal

driving. However, it reduces vehicle speed without using

the brakes for slight downgrades where the vehicle

would otherwise accelerate. If constant upshifting or

downshifting occurs while driving up steep hills, this

position can be used to prevent repetitive types of shifts.

You might choose I (Intermediate) instead of D (Drive)

when driving on hilly, winding roads and when towing a

trailer, so that there is less shifting between gears.

L (Low): This position gives you access to 4 (Fourth),

3 (Third), 2 (Second) and 1 (First) gear ranges.

This provides more engine braking but lower fuel

economy than D (Drive). You can use it on very steep

hills, or in deep snow or mud. If the electronic range

select is put in L (Low), the transmission will not shift

into lower gears until the vehicle is going slow enough.

Automatic Transmission Operation

(Six Speed Transmission)

The automatic transmission

has a shift lever located

on the console between

the seats.

P (Park): This position locks the front wheels. It is the

best position to use when you start the engine because

the vehicle cannot move easily.
