Overdrive Range, First Gear (L4 Hybrid): Notes

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Saturn Vue. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

When you move the gear selector lever to the Overdrive (D) position from the Neutral (N) position, the following changes occur in order to shift the transmission into Overdrive Range - First Gear.

Under certain conditions the hybrid vehicles engine will shut off and the electric auxiliary transmission fluid pump will start running to keep the transmission pressurized and ready for the engine restart. This engine off condition is a fuel economy feature and the L4 hybrid transmission's electric auxiliary fluid pump is an enabling component.
