− −These positions
are similar to D , except when you
select the D position, only the first
four gears are selected. When you
select D , only the first three gears
are selected. D can also keep the
transmission from cycling between
fourth and fifth gears in stop-and-go
driving, and D can keep the
transmission from cycling between
third and fourth gears.
This position locks
the transmission in second gear. It
does not downshift to first gear
when you come to a stop. Second
gives you more power when climbing,
and increased engine braking when
going down steep hills. Use second
gear when starting out on a slippery
surface or in deep snow. It will help
reduce wheelspin.
ForfasteraccelerationwheninD,
D or D , you can get the
transmission to automatically
downshift by pushing the accelerator
pedal to the floor. The transmission
will shift down one or two gears,
depending on your speed.
Use D to provide engine braking
when going down a steep hill. D
gives you more power and increased
engine braking.
