To shift from Second to
First, pull the shift lever towards you,
then shift to the lower gear. With the
lever in this position, the
transmission locks in First gear. By
upshifting and downshifting through
1, 2, D , and D, you can operate the
transmission much like a manual
transmission without a clutch pedal. If you exceed the maximum speed
for the gear you are in, the engine
speed will enter into the tachometer’s
red zone. If this occurs, you may feel
the engine cut in and out. This is
caused by a limiter in the engine’s
computer controls. The engine will
run normally when you reduce the
RPM below the red zone. This allows you to move the shift
lever out of Park if the normal
method of pushing on the brake
pedal and pulling the shift lever does
not work.
Set the Parking brake.
Remove the key from the ignition
switch.
