L (Low)

This position:

• Provides increased engine braking during downhill/mountain driving.

• Provides extended shift scheduling, allowing both upshifts and

downshifts, at a higher overall RPM to provide optimum engine

braking.

• Is not intended for use under extended or normal driving conditions

and results in lower fuel economy.

If your vehicle gets stuck in mud or snow

If your vehicle gets stuck in mud or snow, it may be rocked out by

shifting between forward and reverse gears, stopping between shifts in a

steady pattern. Press lightly on the accelerator in each gear.

Do not rock the vehicle if the engine is not at normal operating

temperature or damage to the transmission may occur.

Do not rock the vehicle for more than a minute or damage to the

transmission and tires may occur, or the engine may overheat.

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 speeds less than 3 mph (5 km/h). The system is not

effective at speeds above 3 mph (5 km/h) 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.
