2 (Second)

This position allows for second gear only.

• Provides engine braking.

• Use to start-up on slippery roads.

• To return to D (Overdrive), move the gearshift lever into the D

(Overdrive) position.

• Selecting 2 (Second) at higher speeds will cause the transmission to

downshift to second gear once the vehicle has slowed down to the

appropriate speed.

1 (First)

This position allows for first gear only.

• Provides maximum engine braking.

• Selecting 1 (First) at higher speeds will cause the transmission to

downshift to first gear once the vehicle has slowed down to the

appropriate speed.

Note: 2 (Second) and 1 (First) are not intended for use under extended

or normal driving conditions and results in lower fuel economy.

REVERSE SENSING SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)

The reverse sensing system (RSS) sounds a tone to warn the driver of

obstacles near the rear bumper when the R (Reverse) is selected and the

vehicle is moving at low speeds. The system is not effective at high

speeds and may not detect certain angular or moving objects.

WARNING: To help avoid personal injury, please read and

understand the limitations of the reverse sensing system as

contained in this section. Reverse sensing is only an aid for some

(generally large and fixed) objects when moving in reverse on a flat

surface at “parking speeds”. Inclement weather may also affect the

function of the RSS; this may include reduced performance or a false

activation.

WARNING: To help avoid personal injury, always use caution

when in reverse and when using the RSS.
