The automatic transmission includes an electronically controlled Overdrive (fifth
gear). The transmission will automatically shift into the Overdrive gear if the
following conditions are present:
• the shift lever is in the DRIVE position,
• vehicle speed is sufficiently high, and
• the driver is not heavily pressing the accelerator.
