Performance Shifting (DTS Only)

When your vehicle detects a change in driving

conditions, it will automatically initiate the appropriate

performance shift mode. When this occurs, the

gear display on the instrument panel cluster will change

to indicate that the transaxle has shifted to a different

gear. For example, the gear display on the cluster may

indicate 3 or 2 even though the gearshift is still in

AUTOMATIC OVERDRIVE (

X). Once the performance

shift mode ends, the gear display on the instrument

panel cluster will return to normal.

Parking Brake

The parking brake pedal is

located to the left of the

regular brake pedal,

near the driver’s door.

This vehicle has a PUSH TO RELEASE parking brake

pedal. To set the parking brake, hold the regular

brake pedal down with your right foot and push the

parking brake pedal down with your left foot.

If the ignition is on, the brake system warning light on

the instrument panel cluster should come on. If it

does not, you need to have your vehicle serviced.

To release the parking brake, hold the regular brake

pedal down with your right foot and push the parking

brake pedal down with your left foot. When you lift your

left foot, the parking brake pedal will follow it to the

released position.

If you try to drive with the parking brake on, after about

20 feet (6.1 m) a chime will sound continuously until

you release the parking brake. Also, the brake light will

stay on until the parking brake is released.

Notice: Driving with the parking brake on can

overheat the brake system and cause premature

wear or damage to brake system parts. Verify that

the parking brake is fully released and the brake

warning light is off before driving.

If you are towing a trailer and are parking on any hill,

see Towing a Trailer on page 4-37.
