CONTROLS AND INSTRUMENTS
NOTE
• For safety reasons, the shift lock system operates to prevent shifting of
the selector lever to any position other than "P" unless the brake pedal is
depressed, the power mode is "ON" (models with passive entry and start
system) or the starter switch is in the "ON" position (models without passive
entry and start system). When pulling away, be sure to keep the brake pedal
depressed as you operate the selector lever.

Drive (Auto Mode)
NOTE
• When you depress the accelerator fully, the transmission automatically shifts to
a lower speed gear according to the vehicle speed and the engine speed rises
to enable sufficient acceleration.
• On steep uphill grades or when towing a heavy load, the system senses a
lack of engine torque in the upper gears and prevents upshifting or forces
downshifting. On steep downhill grades, the system automatically downshifts
when the service brake is applied as a trigger.
Gears are automatically shifted.
