This range shou ld be used for engine braking when
descend ing very steep grad es. In this range, upshifts

transm ission may downshift out of Overd rive or en-
gage overd rive at higher vehicle speed s until the

This range eliminates shifts into Overd rive. The trans-
mission will operate norm ally in First, Second and
Third while in this range. The “3” position shou ld also

brake system distress.

tween “First” and R (Reverse), do not spin the
wheelsfasterthan15mph(24km/h),ordrivetrain
damagemayresult.
NOTE: Using the “3” range while operating the vehicle
und er heavy operating cond itions will improve perfor-
mance and extend transm ission life by red ucing exces-
sive shifting and heat build up.
