Automatic Transmission
Hold Mode (if equipped)
This feature allows the automatic trans-
mission to stay in a specific gear range.
When the Hold mode is selected in the
“D” position, the transmission is held in
3rd gear, which locks out overdrive (4th
gear) and provides additional torque
and responsiveness at most higher
speeds. This allows for engine braking
during higher speed descents and
decelerations.
Similarly, if the Hold mode is selected in
the “2” position, the transmission will
start in 2nd gear (instead of 1st), helping
to reduce wheelspin when starting out
on slippery surfaces.
Cupholders
Two cupholders are located in the center
of the instrument panel.
• To open the front cupholder door,
press on its outer edge.
There also is a cupholder located in the
rear of the center console.
See Section 2 of your Owner Manual.
Malfunction Indicator Lamp/
Check Engine Light
If the light is flashing: A misfire condi-
tion has been detected. When it is safe
to do so, stop the vehicle and turn the
engine off. Wait 10 seconds and restart
the engine. If the light continues to flash,
see your dealer for service as soon as
possible.
If the light is on steady: If you recently
put fuel into your vehicle, reinstall the
fuel cap, making sure that it is tight. A
few driving trips with the cap properly
installed should turn off the light.
See Section 3 of your Owner Manual.
PERFORMANCE & MAINTENANCE
• Before raising the rear seatbacks,
place the safety belts into the side
retaining clips (A) to avoid catching
the belt behind the seatback.
• To raise the seatback, lift it up and
push it rearward until it locks in place.
• Place the safety belt buckles and
center seat safety belt in their original
positions.
