NOTE: The torque converter clutch will not engage

until the transmission fluid and engine coolant are warm

[usually after 1-3 miles (1.6 - 4.8 km) of driving]. Because

the engine speed is higher when the torque converter

clutch is not engaged, it may seem as if the transmission

is not shifting into Overdrive when cold. This is normal.

Pressing the “TOW/HAUL” button, when the transmis-

sion is sufficiently warm, will demonstrate that the

transmission is able to shift into and out of overdrive.

NOTE: If the vehicle has not been driven in several

days, the first few seconds of operation after shifting the

transmission into gear may seem sluggish. This is due to

the fluidpartially drainingfromthe torque converterinto

the transmission. This condition is normal and will not

cause damage to the transmission. The torque converter

will refill within five seconds of shifting from Park into

any other gear position.

Automatic Transmission (6 Speed AS68RC) — If

Equipped

The gear shift selector display, located in the instrument

panel cluster, indicates the transmission gear range (the

selector is illuminated for night driving). The selector

lever is mounted on the right side of the steering column.

You must depress the brake pedal, to pull the selector

lever out of park (P) position (Brake Interlock System). To

drive, move the selector lever from Park or Neutral to the

desired drive position. Pull the selector lever toward you

when shifting into Reverse, Second, First or Park, or

when shifting out of Park.

Gear Ranges

DO NOT race the engine when shifting from Park or

Neutral position into another gear range.
