Overdrive (5th gear) should be used as often as possible to help improve fuel economy. This gear can be 
engaged at speeds above approx. 50 mph (80 km/h). 

 

CAUTION: Follow the shift pattern indicated on the gear shift knob when shifting up (e.g. do not shift 
directly from 2nd to 5th gear) to help avoid excessive wear on the transmission.
