AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION

WARNINGS
Always set the parking brake fully
and make sure the gearshift is
latched in P (Park). Turn the ignition
to the off position and remove the key
whenever you leave your vehicle.
Do not apply the brake pedal and
accelerator pedal simultaneously.
Applying both pedals simultaneously
for more than three seconds will limit
engine rpm, which may result in difficulty
maintaining speed in traffic and could lead
to serious injury.
Understanding the Positions of
Your Automatic Transmission

This vehicle is equipped with an adaptive
transmission shift strategy. Adaptive
transmission shift strategy offers the
optimal transmission operation and shift
quality. When the vehicle s battery has
been disconnected for any type of service
or repair, the transmission will need to
relearn the normal shift strategy
parameters, much like having to reset your
radio stations when your vehicle battery
has been disconnected. The adaptive
transmission shift strategy allows the
transmission to relearn these operating
parameters.
