once (such as PARK to DRIVE), move the lever past the

first (or second) detent. Select the DRIVE range for

normal driving.

The electronically-controlled transmission provides a

precise shift schedule. The transmission electronics are

self-calibrating; therefore, the first few shifts on a new

vehicle may be somewhat abrupt. This is a normal

condition, and precision shifts will develop within a few

hundred miles (kilometers).

Only shift from DRIVE to PARK or REVERSE when the

accelerator pedal is released and the vehicle is stopped.

Be sure to keep your foot on the brake pedal when

shifting between these gears.

Standard Shifter

The standard shift lever has PARK, REVERSE, NEU-

TRAL, DRIVE, and LOW shift positions. Using the LOW

position manually downshifts the transmission to a

lower gear based on vehicle speed.

Optional Shifter With AutoStick®

The optional shift lever (with AutoStick® shift paddles

mounted on the steering wheel) provides PARK, RE-

VERSE, NEUTRAL, DRIVE, and SPORT shift positions.

Once in the DRIVE range, tapping the shift lever rear-

ward will toggle between SPORT mode and DRIVE
