Driving
Starting in Second Gear
When you are in Sequential
Sportshift mode, and the vehicle is
stopped, push forward on the shift
lever to shift to second gear. You will
see ''2'' in the display. Starting out in
second gear will help to reduce
wheelspin in deep snow or on a
slippery surface.
Engine Speed Limiter
If you exceed the maximum speed
for the gear you are in, the engine
speed will enter into the
tachometer's red zone. If this
occurs, you may feel the engine
cut in and out. This is caused by a
limiter in the engine's computer
controls. The engine will run
normally when you reduce the
RPM below the red zone.
