Driving and Operating 8-37
Notice: If the vehicle seems to
accelerate slowly or not shift
gears when you go faster, and
you continue to drive the vehicle
that way, you could damage the
transmission. Have the vehicle
serviced right away. You can
drive in L (Low) when you are
driving less than 56 km/h (35 mph)
and D (Drive) for higher speeds
until then.
M (Manual Mode): Allows the
driver to select the range of gear
positions. If the vehicle has this
feature, see Manual Mode
on
page 8‑37
.
Manual Mode
Electronic Range Select
(ERS) Mode
ERS or manual mode allows for the
selection of the range of gear
positions. Use this mode when
driving down hill or towing a trailer
to limit the top gear and vehicle
speed. The shift position indicator
within the Driver Information Center
(DIC) will display a number next to
the M indicating the highest
available gear under manual mode
and the driving conditions when
manual mode was selected.
To use this feature:
1. Move the shift lever to
M (Manual Mode).
2. Press the plus/minus button on
the shift lever, to increase or
decrease the gear range
available.
When shifting to M (Manual Mode),
the transmission will shift to a preset
lower gear range. For this preset
range, the highest gear available is
displayed next to the M in the DIC.
See Driver Information Center (DIC)
on page 4‑25
for more information.
All gears below that number are
available to use. For example, when
4 (Fourth) is shown next to the M,
1 (First) through 4 (Fourth) gears are
shifted automatically. To shift to
5 (Fifth) gear, press the + (Plus)
button or shift into D (Drive).
M (Manual Mode) will prevent
shifting to a lower gear range if the
engine speed is too high. If vehicle
speed is not reduced within the time
allowed, the lower gear range shift
will not be completed. Slow the
vehicle, then press the − (Minus)
button to the desired lower gear
range.
While using the ERS, cruise control
can be used.
