Gear Ranges
DO NOT race the engine when shifting from PARK or
NEUTRAL into another gear range.NOTE:
After selecting any gear range, wait a moment to
allow the selected gear to engage before accelerating.
This is especially important when the engine is cold.
PARK (P)
This range supplements the parking brake by locking the
transmission. The engine can be started in this range.
Never attempt to use PARK while the vehicle is in
motion. Apply the parking brake when leaving the
vehicle in this range.
When parking on a level surface, you may shift the
transmission into PARK first, and then apply the parking
brake.
When parking on a hill, apply the parking brake before
shifting the transmission to PARK. As an added precau-
tion, turn the front wheels toward the curb on a downhill
grade and away from the curb on an uphill grade.

When To Use TOW Mode
When driving in hilly areas, towing a trailer, carrying a
heavy load, etc., and frequent transmission shifting oc-
curs, select TOW mode, using the rotary switch on the
center console. Selecting TOW mode will improve per-
formance and reduce the potential for transmission over-
heating or failure due to excessive shifting. Refer to
“Selec-Track” in “Starting And Operating” for further
information.
AUTOSTICK
AutoStick is a driver-interactive transmission feature
providing manual shift control, giving you more control
of the vehicle. AutoStick allows you to maximize engine
braking, eliminate undesirable upshifts and downshifts,
and improve overall vehicle performance. This system
can also provide you with more control during passing,
city driving, cold slippery conditions, mountain driving,
trailer towing, and many other situations.
Operation
To activate AutoStick mode, move the shift lever into the
MANUAL (M) position (beside the DRIVE position), or
tap one of the shift paddles on the steering wheel.
Tapping the (-) shift paddle to enter AutoStick mode will
downshift the transmission to the next lower gear, while
tapping (+) to enter AutoStick mode will retain the
current gear. The current transmission gear will be dis-
played in the instrument cluster. In AutoStick mode, you
can use the shift lever (in the MANUAL position), or the
shift paddles, to manually shift the transmission. Tapping
the shift lever forward (-) while in the MANUAL (M)
position, or tapping the (-) shift paddle on the steering
wheel, will downshift the transmission to the next lower
gear. Tapping the lever rearward (+) (or tapping the (+)
shift paddle) will command an upshift.
NOTE:The shift paddles may be disabled (or re-enabled,
as desired) using Drive Modes.

WARNING!
Do not downshift for additional engine braking on a
slippery surface. The drive wheels could lose their
grip and the vehicle could skid, causing a collision or
personal injury.
