Driving 1 (First) • Provides maximum engine braking. • Allows upshifts by moving gearshift lever. • Will not downshift into 1 (First) at high speeds; allows for 1 (First) when vehicle reaches slower speeds.

Driving with a 6-speed automatic transmission (if equipped) This vehicle is equipped with an Adaptive Transmission Shift Strategy. Adaptive Transmission Shift Strategy offers the optimal transmission operation and shift quality. The adaptive information will be stored automatically in the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) and Transmission Control Module (TCM). When the vehicle's battery has been disconnected for any type of service or repair, the transmission will need to relearn the normal shift strategy parameters, much like having to reset your radio stations when your vehicle battery has been disconnected. The Adaptive Transmission Shift Strategy allows the transmission to relearn these operating parameters. This learning process could take several transmission upshifts and downshifts; during this learning process, slightly firmer shifts may occur. After this learning process, normal shift feel and shift scheduling will resume. 235 2010 07+ Explorer Sport Trac (esp) Owners Guide (own2002), 1st Printing USA (fus)
