DRIVE — Six-Speed Transmission
This range should be used for most city and highway
driving. It provides the smoothest upshifts, downshifts,
and best fuel economy. However, use the Electronic
Range Select (ERS) mode by moving the lever—/+and
select the “5” range when frequent transmission shifting
occurs while using the DRIVE range, such as when
operating the vehicle under heavy loading conditions,

using the “5” range will improve performance and
extend transmission life by reducing excessive shifting
and heat build-up.

This range should be used for most city and highway
driving. It provides the smoothest upshifts, downshifts,
