Range Selection: Drive

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Mercury Mariner and 2008 Ford Escape. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The DRIVE position provides all automatic shifts (1st through 4th), apply and release of the torque converter clutch, and maximum fuel economy during normal operation. Engine braking is provided in the 4th gear. Fourth gear (Overdrive) may be canceled by depressing the transmission control switch (TCS) that is located on the transmission range selector. Engine braking is also provided in 2nd and 3rd gear with the TCS on.
