INTERMEDIATE (I): This position is also used for
normal driving. However, it reduces vehicle speed without
using your brakes for slight downgrades where the
vehicle would otherwise accelerate due to steepness
of grade. If constant upshifting or downshifting occurs
while driving up steep hills, this position can be used to
prevent repetitive types of shifts. You might choose
INTERMEDIATE (I) instead of DRIVE (D) when driving on
hilly, winding roads and when towing a trailer, so that
there is less shifting between gears.
LOW (L): This position gives you access to FOURTH,
THIRD, SECOND and FIRST gear ranges. This
provides more engine braking but lower fuel economy
than DRIVE (D). You can use it on very steep hills, or in
deep snow or mud. If the electronic range select is
put in LOW (L), the transmission will not shift into lower
gears until the vehicle is going slow enough.
Automatic Transmission Operation
(Six Speed Transmission)
Your automatic
transmission has a shift
lever located on the
console between the seats.
PARK (P): This position locks your front wheels. It is
the best position to use when you start your engine
because your vehicle cannot move easily.
