2005 CHEVROLET COBALT park assist

AUTOMATIC OVERDRIVE (D):This position is for
normal driving with the automatic transaxle. If you need
more power for passing, and you are:
Going less than about 35 mph (55 km/h), push your
accelerator pedal about halfway down.
Going about 35 mph (55 km/h), push your
accelerator all the way down.
SECOND (2):This position is also used for normal
driving. However, it offers braking from the engine for
slight downgrades where the vehicle would otherwise
accelerate due to steepness of grade. If repetitive shifts
occur between third and fourth gears on steep uphills,
this position can be used to prevent repetitive shifting.
Fuel economy will be lower than AUTOMATIC
OVERDRIVE (D). Here are some times you might
choose SECOND (2) instead of AUTOMATIC
OVERDRIVE (D):
When driving on hilly, winding roads.
When towing a trailer, so there is less shifting
between gears.FIRST (1):This position holds you in the lowest gear
possible for the given vehicle speed. It provides
more engine braking but lower fuel economy than
SECOND (2). You can use it on very steep hills as a
brake assist, or in deep snow or mud.
Notice:Spinning the tires or holding the vehicle in
one place on a hill using only the accelerator
pedal may damage the transaxle. If you are stuck,
do not spin the tires. When stopping on a hill,
use the brakes, or parking brake to hold the vehicle
in place.
