Transmission

If Your Vehicle Gets Stuck In Mud or Snow Note: Do not rock your vehicle if your engine is not at normal operating temperature or damage to your transmission may occur. Note: Do not rock your vehicle for more than a minute or damage to your transmission and tires may occur, or your engine may overheat. If your vehicle gets stuck in mud or snow, you can help rock your vehicle out by shifting between forward and reverse gears, stopping between shifts in a steady pattern. Press lightly on the accelerator in each gear.

3. Using a tool, press and hold the brake shift interlock switch. The shift buttons on the instrument panel will flash when your vehicle is in override mode. 4.

Your vehicle will remain in neutral for wrecker towing purposes or can be shifted to the desired gear and driven (if possible). 7. Release the parking brake. Automatic Transmission Adaptive Learning This feature increases durability and provides consistent shift feel over the life of your vehicle. A new vehicle or transmission may have firm or soft shifts. This operation will not affect function or durability of your transmission and is normal. Over time, the adaptive learning process will fully update transmission operation. Additionally, the strategy must be relearned whenever the battery is disconnected or a new battery is installed.
