Use second gear:
For more power when climbing.
To increase engine braking when
going down steep hills.
For starting out on a slippery
surface or in deep snow.
To help reduce wheel spin.
When driving downhill with a
trailer.
To shift from second to
first, press the release button on the
side of the shift lever. This position
locks the transmission in first gear.
By upshifting and downshifting
through 1, 2, and D, you can operate
this transmission much like a manual
transmission without a clutch pedal.
If you shift into first position when
the vehicle speed is above 50 km/h
(31 mph), the transmission shifts
into second gear first to avoid
sudden engine braking.
The speeds in this table are the
maximum allowable speeds in each
position. If you exceed these speeds,
the engine speed will enter into the
tachometer’s red zone. If this occurs,
you will feel the engine cut in and
out. This is caused by a limiter in the
engine’s computer controls. The
engine will run normally when you
reduce the rpm below the red zone.
Before downshifting, make sure the
vehicle will not exceed the maximum
allowable speed specified by the
chart for the lower gear to avoid
engine damage.
