Range Selection: Drive
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Mercury Villager. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Drive is the normal gearshift lever position for most forward driving conditions. This position provides all automatic shifting, application and release of the torque converter clutch, and maximum fuel economy during normal operation. When Overdrive is turned off, the vehicle will shift up to Third Gear. There is engine braking in Third Gear when Overdrive is turned off.
