STARTING AND OPERATING
To rock a vehicle out of soft grou nd (mud or snow ),

restart the engine to clear the malfunction ind ication.

This vehicle is equ ipped with a brake transm ission shift
interlock system (BTSI) that hold s the gearshift lever in
the P (Park) position when the ignition switch is in the

P (Park) position, the ignition switch must be turned to
the ON position, and the brake pedal must be depressed .
Autostick Operation
By placing the shift lever in the DRIVE position it can be
moved from side to side. This allow s the driver to select
a higher or lower range of gears. Moving the lever to the
left (-) triggers a downshift and to the right (+) an upshift.
The gear position will be show n in the transm ission gear
display, located in the instru ment cluster.

change the way it shifts to help control the cond ition.
This may resu lt in a slightly different feeling or resp onse
during norm al operation in D (Drive) position. After the
transm ission cools down, it will retu rn to norm al opera-
tion.
