AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
WARNING:Always set the parking brake fully and make sure
the gearshift is latched in P (Park). Turn the ignition to the off
position and remove the key whenever you leave your vehicle.
Your vehicle has been designed to improve fuel economy by reducing
fuel usage while coasting or decelerating. When you take your foot off
the accelerator pedal and the vehicle begins to slow down, the torque
converter clutch locks up and aggressively shuts off fuel flow to the
engine while decelerating. This fuel economy benefit may be perceived
as a light to medium braking sensation when removing your foot from
the accelerator pedal.
P (Park)
This position locks the transmission and prevents
the front wheels from turning.
To put your vehicle in gear:
•Press the brake pedal
•Move the gearshift lever into the desired gear
To put your vehicle in P (Park):
•Come to a complete stop
•Move the gearshift lever and securely latch it in P (Park)
R (Reverse)
With the gearshift lever in R (Reverse), the vehicle will move backward.
Always come to a complete stop before shifting into and out of
R (Reverse).
N (Neutral)
With the gearshift lever in N (Neutral), the vehicle can be started and
is free to roll. Hold the brake pedal down while in this position.
D (Drive) with Overdrive
The normal driving position for the best fuel economy. Transmission
operates in gears one through six.
The automatic transmission shift strategy has the ability to detect hilly
terrain or mountainous areas and will provide a limited amount of grade
assist features automatically.

14. Remove the jack and fully tighten the
lug nuts in the order shown. SeeWheel Lug
Nut Torque Specificationslater in this
chapter for the proper lug nut torque
specification.
Stowing the Flat/Spare Tire and Jack
Note:If you are stowing a flat 22 inch tire and wheel assembly,
temporarily remove the load floor, plastic stowage bins, and the foam
load floor supports to make space. Place the 22 inch tire and wheel
assembly in the spare tire well with the valve stem facing down. Rotate
the tire until the jack assembly is able to protrude through a wheel
opening. Replace the plastic stowage bins and foam load floor supports
around the 22 inch tire and wheel assembly.
Note:If you are stowing a flat tire, place the tire in the spare tire well
with the valve stem facing down. Rotate the tire until the jack assembly
is able to protrude through a wheel opening.
Note:If you are stowing the spare tire, place the spare in the spare tire
well in its original position.
1. Put the flat tire, jack and lug wrench away. Make sure the jack kit is
secured in its original location and orientation in the jack kit recess
under the flat or spare tire. Unblock the wheels.
2. Secure the wheel by replacing the washer and the wing nut and
turning the wing nut clockwise.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
Wheel Lug Nut Torque Specifications
WARNING:When a wheel is installed, always remove any
corrosion, dirt or foreign materials present on the mounting
surfaces of the wheel or the surface of the wheel hub, brake drum or
brake disc that contacts the wheel. Make sure that any fasteners that
attach the rotor to the hub are secured so they do not interfere with
the mounting surfaces of the wheel. Installing wheels without correct
metal-to-metal contact at the wheel mounting surfaces can cause the
wheel nuts to loosen and the wheel to come off while your vehicle is in
motion, resulting in loss of control.
Retighten the lug nuts to the specified torque within 100 miles
(160 kilometers) after any wheel disturbance (such as rotation, flat tire,
wheel removal).

Note:Inspect the wheel pilot hole

installation. Remove any visible
corrosion or loose particles.
