TRANSMISSION
SHIFTING
5–Speed
Automatic
T
ransmission
The
electr
onically
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.
