The electronically-controlled transmission provides a

precise shift schedule. The transmission electronics are

self-calibrating; therefore, the first few shifts on a new

vehicle may be somewhat abrupt. This is a normal

condition, and precision shifts will develop within a few

hundred miles (kilometers).

Only shift from DRIVE to PARK or REVERSE when the

accelerator pedal is released and the vehicle is stopped.

Be sure to keep your foot on the brake pedal when

shifting between these gears.
The transmission shift lever has only PARK, REVERSE,

NEUTRAL, and DRIVE shift positions. Manual down-

shifts can be made using the Electronic Range Select

(ERS) shift control (refer to “Electronic Range Select (ERS)

Operation” in this section for further information). Mov-

ing the shift lever to the left or right (–/+) while in the

DRIVE position will select the highest available transmis-

sion gear, and will display that gear in the instrument

cluster as 1, 2, 3, etc.
Gear Ranges
DO NOT race the engine when shifting from PARK or

NEUTRAL into another gear range.
