NOTE:
Even if the transmission can be reset, we recommend
that you visit an authorized dealer at your earliest pos-
sible convenience. An authorized dealer has diagnostic
equipment to assess the condition of your
transmission.
If the transmission cannot be reset, authorized dealer
service is required.
Electronic Range Select (ERS) Operation
The ERS shift control allows the driver to limit the high-
est available gear when the transmission is in DRIVE
and ERS mode is not active. For example, if you set the
transmission gear limit to FOURTH gear, the transmis-
sion will not shift above FOURTH gear (except to prevent
engine overspeed), but will shift through the lower
gears normally.
You can switch between DRIVE and ERS mode at any
vehicle speed. When the transmission gear selector is
in DRIVE, the transmission will operate automatically,
shifting between all available gears. Tapping the “-”
button (on the steering wheel) will activate ERS mode,
display the current gear in the instrument cluster, and
set that gear as the top available gear. Once in ERS
mode, tapping the “-” or “+” button will change the top
available gear.
To exit ERS mode, simply push and hold the “+” button
until the gear limit display disappears from the instru-
ment cluster.
WARNING!
Do not downshift for additional engine braking on a
slippery surface. The drive wheels could lose their
grip and the vehicle could skid, causing a collision or
personal injury.
When to Use TOW/HAUL Mode
Select TOW/HAUL mode when driving in conditions
such as: driving in hilly areas, towing a trailer, carrying a
heavy load, etc. This mode will improve performance
and reduce the potential for transmission overheating
or failure due to excessive shifting.
The TOW/HAUL Indicator Light will illuminate in the
instrument cluster to indicate that TOW/HAUL mode
has been activated. Pushing the switch a second time
restores normal operation. Normal operation is always
the default at engine start-up. If TOW/HAUL mode is
desired, the switch must be pushed each time the
engine is started.
WARNING!
Do not use the “TOW/HAUL” feature when driving in
icy or slippery conditions. The increased engine brak-
ing can cause the rear wheels to slide, and the
vehicle to swing around with the possible loss of
vehicle control, which may cause an accident possibly
resulting in personal injury or death.
