Driving Always set the parking brake fully and make sure the gearshift is latched in P (Park). Turn the ignition to the LOCK position and remove the key whenever you leave your vehicle. R (Reverse) With the gearshift lever in R (Reverse), the vehicle will move backward. Always come to a complete stop before shifting into and out of R (Reverse). N (Neutral) With the gearshift lever in N (Neutral), the vehicle can be started and is free to roll. Hold the brake pedal down while in this gear. D (Drive) with Overdrive The normal driving position for the best fuel economy. Transmission operates in gears one through four. D (Drive) without Overdrive D (Drive) with Overdrive can be deactivated by pressing the transmission control switch (TCS) on the end of the gearshift lever. The transmission control indicator light (TCIL) will illuminate in the instrument cluster. O/D OFF Transmission operates in gears one through three. D (Drive) without Overdrive provides more engine braking than D (Drive) with Overdrive and is useful when: • driving with a heavy load. • towing a trailer up or down steep hills. • additional engine downhill braking is desired. If towing a trailer, refer to Driving while you tow in the Trailer towing section. 257 2006 Expedition (exd) Owners Guide (post-2002-fmt) USA (fus)
