Snow/Ice Operation
This transmission is designed to work in
coordination with the ATC system to
ensure optimal operation. However, if the
driver observes low friction road conditions
(such as snow, rain, ice) and does not want
the transmission to shift, risking wheel
slippage, the driver should select Manual
mode. Manual mode holds the current gear
position under most operating conditions-
the transmission will only shift when the
driver uses the up/downshift request. Once
road conditions improve, the driver should
revert back to Drive mode.
