Automatic transmission – shift gatepositions


Shift gate positions
Depress the button on the front of the gear selector knob to move between the R, N, D, and P positions.
Kickdown
Automatic shift to a lower gear (kickdown) is achieved by depressing the accelerator pedal fully and briskly. An upshift will occur when approaching the top speed for a particular gear or by releasing the accelerator pedal slightly.
Kickdown can be used for maximum acceleration or when passing at highway speeds.
NOTE
The gear selector must be in the D (Drive)
position for kickdown to function.
