To return to (Overdrive) mode, press the
transmission control switch. The O/D OFF indicator
will no longer be illuminated.

will automatically return to normal overdrive mode.
Every time the vehicle is shut off and restarted, you
must press the transmission control switch to cancel

Use 2 (Second) to
start-up on slippery
roads or to provide
additional engine
braking on downgrades.

only in Second gear.

Use 1 (Low) to provide
maximum engine
braking on steep
downgrades. Upshifts
can be made by shifting

decelerates to the proper speed.

(O/D OFF) when passing another vehicle, push the
