Automatic Transmission
First (1) — To shift from Second
to First, press the release button
on the side of the shift lever.
With the lever in this position,
the transmission locks in First
gear. By upshifting and
downshifting through 1, 2, D
and D , you can operate this
4
transmission much like a manual
transmission without a clutch
pedal.
Maximum Speeds
The speeds in these tables are
the maximums for the given
position. If you exceed these
speeds, the engine speed will
enter into the tachometer's red
zone. If this occurs, you will feel
the engine cut in and out. This is
caused by a limiter in the
engine's computer controls. The
engine will run normally when
you reduce the rpm below the
red zone.
