Garage Shifts

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.

If the garage shifts (Park to Reverse, Park to Drive, Reverse to Drive, Drive to Reverse) feel like they are delayed or are harsh, garage shift adapts can also be performed.

IMPORTANT: All garage shifts should be performed with the vehicle stopped, foot on the brake and engine at idle.
  1. Shift the transmission from Reverse to Drive leaving the shift lever in Drive for 3 seconds. After 3 seconds, shift back to Reverse leaving the shift lever in Reverse for 3 seconds. Perform the procedure 10 times (R-D-R-D-R-D...). The shift transitions need to be directly to Drive and Reverse, without stopping in Neutral.
  2. Shift the transmission from Neutral to Drive leaving the shift lever in Drive for 3 seconds. After 3 seconds, shift back to Neutral leaving the shift lever in Neutral for 3 seconds. Perform the procedure 10 times (N-D-N-D-N-D...).
  3. Shift the transmission from Neutral to Reverse leaving the shift lever in Reverse for 3 seconds. After 3 seconds, shift back to Neutral leaving the shift lever in Neutral for 3 seconds. Perform the procedure 10 times (R-D-R-D-R-D...).

At the end of these maneuvers, the vehicle may still experience some minor driveability issues, but should learn improved shifting performance over the next several key cycles and driving time. Coach the customer about the transmission's ability to self correct shifting issues or concerns. The transmission adapts are always functional and operate at transmission oil temperatures above 40°C (104°F).
