Driving Understanding gearshift positions The Select Shift Transmission (SST) Shifter allows the driver to select between the transmission's automatic shift mode or the manually selected shift mode. Automatic shift mode When in the automatic shift mode (D5 position), the 5-speed automatic transmission operates like a typical automatic transmission. Pull the gearshift lever towards you and downward to move the automatic gearshift. Refer to Driving with a 5-speed automatic transmission in this chapter for Park, Reverse, Neutral, D5 and D4 information. Manual shift mode With the gearshift lever in D5 (Overdrive), the gearshift lever can be moved to the right and into the manual shift mode. The transmission will remain in the manual shift mode until the gearshift lever is moved back to D5 (Overdrive). 157
