DRIVE (D) can be used when towing a trailer, carrying a

heavy load, driving on steep hills or for off-road

driving. You may want to shift the transmission to

THIRD (3) or, if necessary, a lower gear selection if the

transmission shifts too often.

THIRD (3): This position is also used for normal driving,

however it offers more power and lower fuel economy

than DRIVE (D).

SECOND (2): This position gives you more power but

lower fuel economy. You can use SECOND (2) on

hills. It can help control your speed as you go down

steep mountain roads, but then you would also want to

use your brakes off and on.

If you manually select SECOND (2) in a light duty

automatic transmission, the transmission will drive in

second gear. You may use this feature for reducing the

speed of the rear wheels when you are trying to start

your vehicle from a stop on slippery road surfaces.

FIRST (1): This position gives you even more power

(but lower fuel economy) than SECOND (2). You

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

If the shift lever is put in FIRST (1) 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. If you are

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

use the brakes to hold the vehicle in place.

On cold days, approximately 32°F (0°C) or colder, your

transmission is designed to shift differently until the

engine reaches normal operating temperature. This is

intended to improve heater performance.
