THIRD (3): This position gives you more power. You
can use THIRD (3) on hills. It can help control your
speed as you go down steep mountain roads, but then
you would also want to use your brakes off and on.
If the shift lever is put into THIRD (3), the transmission
will not shift into THIRD (3) until the vehicle is moving
slowly enough.
SECOND (2): This position gives you even more
power than THIRD (3). You can use it on very steep
hills, or in deep snow or mud. (If the shift lever is
put in SECOND (2), the transmission will not shift into
SECOND (2) until the vehicle is going slowly enough).
FIRST (1): The transmission will automatically select
this gear when conditions indicate that more power
is needed. You cannot select this gear manually.
Notice: Spinning the tires or holding the vehicle
in one place on a hill using only the accelerator
pedal may damage the transmission. If you
are stuck, do not spin the tires. When stopping on
a hill, use the brakes to hold the vehicle in place.
Sport Mode Button
(Automatic Transmission)
This button allows you to change the driving mode of
the vehicle from the normal driving mode to a sportier
driving mode. In sport mode the vehicle will have firmer
shifting and increased performance.
The sport mode button
is located on the center
console near the
transmission shift lever.
Press the button once to turn on the sport mode. Press
the button again to return to normal driving mode.
