Under inclement weather
conditions that cause slippery
roads, activating the “WINTER”
mode will improve driving
operation. The “WINTER” mode
may be activated while driving at
speeds of 6 mph (10 km/h) or less.
With the transmission lever in the
“P,” “R,” “N,” or “D” position,
push the “WINTER” button on the
console.
The “WINTER DRIVE” indicator
light will illuminate whenever the
“WINTER” mode system is
activated, and the vehicle will
start off in third gear.
The “WINTER” mode is
deactivated when the vehicle
reaches approximately 19 mph
(30 km/h), when the transmission
is shifted into “3,” “2,” or “L,” by
pushing the “WINTER” button
again, or by turning the ignition
key to the “OFF” position.
Operation of the “WINTER”
mode should be limited to
slippery road conditions only.
Operation of the “WINTER”
mode during normal driving
conditions will cause decreased
performance and sluggish
acceleration.
