Ensure the shift lever is fully in PARK (P) before starting

the engine. Your vehicle has an automatic transmission

shift lock control system. You must fully apply your

regular brakes before you can shift from PARK (P) when

the vehicle is running. If you cannot shift out of

PARK (P), ease pressure on the shift lever. Push the

shift lever all the way into PARK (P) while pressing the

button on the shift lever as you maintain brake

application. Then move the shift lever into the gear you

wish. See Shifting Out of Park (P) on page 2-38.

Notice: Shifting to REVERSE (R) while your vehicle

is moving forward could damage the transmission.

The repairs would not be covered by your warranty.

Shift to REVERSE (R) only after your vehicle is

stopped.

REVERSE (R): Use this gear to back up.

At low vehicle speeds, you can also use REVERSE (R)

to rock your vehicle back and forth to get out of

snow, ice, or sand without damaging your transmission.

See If Your Vehicle is Stuck in Sand, Mud, Ice or

Snow on page 4-31 for additional information.

NEUTRAL (N): In this position, the engine does not

connect with the wheels. To restart when you are

already moving, use NEUTRAL (N) only. You can also

use NEUTRAL (N) when your vehicle is being towed.

{CAUTION:

Shifting into a drive gear while your engine is

running at high speed is dangerous. Unless

your foot is ﬁrmly on the brake pedal, your

vehicle could move very rapidly. You could

lose control and hit people or objects. Do not

shift into a drive gear while your engine is

running at high speed.

Notice: Shifting out of PARK (P) or NEUTRAL (N)

with the engine running at high speed may damage

the transmission. The repairs would not be

covered by your warranty. Be sure the engine is not

running at high speed when shifting your vehicle.

AUTOMATIC OVERDRIVE (D): This position is

for normal driving. If you need more power for passing,

and you are:

• Going less than 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.

The transmission will shift down to a lower gear

and have more power.
