NOTE:

To select the proper gear position for maximum

deceleration (engine braking), move the shift lever into

the ERS position, then tap it forward (-) repeatedly as the

vehicle slows. The transmission will shift to the range

from which the vehicle can best be slowed down.
Overdrive Operation
The automatic transmission includes an electronically

controlled Overdrive (sixth gear). The transmission will

automatically shift into Overdrive if the following con-

ditions are present:

• The shift lever is in the DRIVE position.

• The transmission fluid has reached an adequate tem-

perature.

• The engine coolant has reached an adequate tempera-

ture.

• The vehicle speed is sufficiently high.
• The driver is not heavily pressing the accelerator.
