Downshifting increases power going uphill, or
provides engine braking going downhill. For best fuel
economy during normal driving conditions, always
drive with the shift lever in the “D” position.
Overdrive switch
To turn “ON” or “OFF” Depress the overdrive
switch to choose either four-speed (“OFF”) or five-
speed (“ON”) operation. During normal driving
conditions, always drive with overdrive “ON;” this
allows the transmission to shift automatically into
five-speed operation at higher speeds, improving
fuel economy. If the O/D indicator light on the
instrument cluster is illuminated, overdrive is “OFF.”
