ELECTRONIC SHIFTER – 3.6L ENGINE
• Your new vehicle is equipped with a state
of the art, fuel efficient 8 speed transmis-
sion. The electronic shift lever in this ve-
hicle does not slide like a conventional
shifter. Instead, the shift lever is spring
loaded and moves forward and rearward,
always returning to the center position
after each gear is selected.
• The transmission gear (PRND) is displayed
both on the shift lever and in the Electronic
Vehicle Information Center (EVIC).
Shifting From PARK to DRIVE
• Firmly depress the brake pedal, press the
lock button on the shift lever, then pull
and hold the shift lever fully rearward until
“D” is displayed in the EVIC.
• To shift back into PARK from DRIVE, bring
the vehicle to a complete stop, fully de-
press the brake pedal, press the lock but-
ton on the shift lever, then push and hold
the shift lever fully forward until “P” is
displayed in the EVIC.
Shifting From REVERSE to NEUTRAL
• Pull the shift lever rearward to the first
detent and release. “N” will display in the
EVIC.
• To shift back into REVERSE from NEU-
TRAL, firmly depress the brake pedal, press the lock button on the shift lever, then push
the shift lever forward to the first detent and release. “R” will display in the EVIC.
