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 makes an upshift or downshift
request. Once road conditions improve, the
driver should revert back to Drive Mode.
