Driving your vehicle Automatic transmission
Automatic transmission (if
equipped)
Automatic transmission operation
The automatic transmission has 6
forward speeds and one reverse
speed. The individual speeds are
selected automatically, depending
on the position of the shift lever.
The first few shifts on a new vehi
cle, if the battery has been discon
nected, may be somewhat abrupt.
This is a normal condition, and the
shifting sequence will adjust after
shifts are cycled a few times by the
TCM (Transmission Control Module)
or PCM (Powertrain Control Module).
For smooth operation, depress the
brake pedal when shifting from N
(Neutral) to a forward or reverse
gear.

䳜 Always check the surrounding
areas near your vehicle for peo
ple, especially children, before
shifting a vehicle into D (Drive) or
R (Reverse).
䳜 Before leaving the driver's seat,
always make sure the shift lever
is in the P (Park) position; then set
the parking brake fully and shut
the engine off. Unexpected and
sudden vehicle movement can
occur if these precautions are not
followed in the order identified.
䳜 Do not use the engine brake
(shifting from a high gear to
lower gear) rapidly on slippery
roads.
The vehicle may slip causing an
accident.
