MANUALLY SHIFTING GEARS
SHIFTING USING THE BUTTONS
ON THE SELECTOR LEVER
Your vehicle has a SelectShift Automatic
transmission gearshift lever. This gives you
the ability to change gears up or down,
without a clutch, as preferred.
To prevent the engine from running at too
low an RPM, which could cause it to stall,
SelectShift still makes some downshifts
if it determines that you have not
downshifted in time. Although SelectShift
makes some downshifts for you, it still
allows you to downshift at any time if it
determines that damage to the engine
from over-revving does not occur.
Note: SelectShift does not automatically
upshift, even if the engine is approaching
the RPM limit. Shift manually by pressing
the + button.
Note: Engine damage could occur if you
maintain excessive engine revving without
shifting.

PRECAUTIONS
WARNING: Do not drive your
vehicle until you verify that the
stoplamps are working.
WARNING: When doing this
procedure, you need to take the
transmission out of park (P) which
means your vehicle can roll freely. To
avoid unwanted vehicle movement,
always fully apply the parking brake prior
to doing this procedure. Use wheels
chocks if appropriate.
WARNING: If the parking brake is
fully released, but the brake warning
lamp remains illuminated, the brakes
may not be working properly. Have your
vehicle checked as soon as possible.
In the event of an electrical malfunction,
it is possible that a fuse has blown or the
stoplamps are not working. See Fuse
Precautions (page 310).
If the vehicle battery has no charge, jump
start your vehicle. See Jump Starting
Precautions (page 300).
