CAUTION! (Continued)
Refer to "Recreational Towing" in "Starting And Op-
erating" and "Towing A Disabled Vehicle" in "In Case
Of Emergency" for further information.
DRIVE (D)
This range should be used for most city and highway
driving. It provides the smoothest upshifts and downshifts,
and the best fuel economy. The transmission automatically
upshifts through underdrive first, second and third gears,
direct fourth gear and overdrive fifth gear. The DRIVE
position provides optimum driving characteristics under
all normal operating conditions.
When frequent transmission shifting occurs (such as when
operating the vehicle under heavy loading conditions, in
hilly terrain, traveling into strong head winds, or while
towing a heavy trailer), use the AutoStick shift control
(refer to AutoStick in this section for further information)
to select a lower gear. Under these conditions, using a
lower gear will improve performance and extend transmis-
sion life by reducing excessive shifting and heat buildup.
Secure Park Anti-Theft System
The Secure Park anti-theft system was designed to enable
law enforcement officers to leave their vehicles unattended
with the engines running without the ability of the vehicle
to be driven away. This system utilizes the Brake Transmis-
sion Shift Interlock (BTSI) to prevent the transmission from
shifting out of park.
Enabling and Disabling The System
To enable or disable, press the Secure Park button located
on the back side of the steering wheel when the engine is
running. The vehicle can be in any gear to enable. Either
center button located on the right rear or left rear of the
steering wheel may be used.
