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.

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.

FOURTH (4): This position is also used for normal

driving. However, it offers more power and lower fuel

economy than AUTOMATIC OVERDRIVE (D).

Here are examples for using FOURTH (4) instead of

AUTOMATIC OVERDRIVE (D):

• When driving on hilly, winding roads.

• When going down a steep hill.

This position may also offer improved trailer towing

performance in certain driving conditions.

Driver Shift Control (DSC)

Notice: If you drive your vehicle at high RPMs

without upshifting while using Driver Shift Control

(DSC), you could damage your vehicle. Always

upshift when necessary while using DSC.

Your automatic transmission has a Driver Shift Control

(DSC) feature that allows you to change gears

similar to a manual transmission. To use the DSC

feature:

1. Slide the shift lever over from AUTOMATIC

OVERDRIVE (D) to the right into the DSC area.

When the transmission is

in DSC mode the sport

symbol in the Driver

Information Center (DIC)

will come on.
