Automatic transmission
Press the program mode selector
switch repeatedly until the letter of the
desired program mode appears in the
instrument cluster.
Select C for comfort driving:
The vehicle starts out in second
gear (both forward and reverse) for
gentler starts. This does not apply if
full throttle is applied or gear
range 1 is selected.
Traction and driving stability are
improved on icy roads.
Upshifts occur earlier even when
you give more gas. The engine then
operates at lower rpms and the
wheels are less likely to spin.
Select S for standard driving:
The vehicle starts out in first gear.
Upshifts occur later.
