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.
Note: Some sound and shift characteristics
are unique to the transmission in your
vehicle. These operations are normal and
do not affect the durability of the
transmission.
Note: Do not use the accelerator to hold
your vehicle at a standstill while waiting on
a hill. This will overheat the transmission.
Some sound and shift characteristics are
unique to the PowerShift transmission in
your vehicle and will be felt as the

Transmission
• Although the gears shift automatically,
the shifting feel and sound experienced
from the Powershift transmission is
similar to those of a manual
transmission, which is normal.
• The Powershift transmission
continuously makes electronic
adjustments to optimize shift quality.
During the initial break-in period, you
may feel slight vibrations when
accelerating your vehicle from low
speeds.
Putting your vehicle in gear:
1. Fully press down the brake pedal.
2. Press and hold the button on the front
of the gearshift lever.
3. Move the gearshift lever into the
desired gear.
4. Release the button and your
transmission will remain in the selected
gear.
