LOW (L): This position reduces vehicle speed even
more than SECOND (2) without using your brakes.
You can use it on very steep hills, or in deep snow or
mud. If the shift lever is put in LOW (L), the transmission
will not shift into low gear until the vehicle is going
slow enough.
Notice: Spinning the tires or holding the vehicle
in one place on a hill using only the accelerator
pedal may damage the transmission. The repair will
not be covered by your warranty. If you are stuck,
do not spin the tires. When stopping on a hill,
use the brakes to hold the vehicle in place.

Overdrive Off

Vehicles with an automatic transmission have an
O/D (overdrive off) button located on the left side
of the shift lever.
When you turn on your vehicle overdrive will
automatically come on until you turn it off.
Drive your vehicle with the overdrive on for better fuel
economy and quieter driving.
Press the O/D button to
turn overdrive off or on.
A light on the instrument
panel cluster comes on
when the overdrive is on.
