Manual Mode

Electronic Range Select
(ERS) Mode
ERS or manual mode allows for the
selection of the range of gear
positions. Use this mode when
driving downhill or to limit the top
gear and vehicle speed. The shift
position indicator within the Driver
Information Center (DIC) will display
a number next to the L indicating
the highest available gear under
manual mode and the driving
conditions when manual mode was
selected.
To use this feature:
1. Move the shift lever to L (Low).
2. Press the plus/minus button on
the shift lever to increase or
decrease the gear range
available.
When shifting to L (Low), the
transmission will shift to a preset
lower gear range. For this preset
range, the highest gear available is
displayed next to the L in the DIC.
See Driver Information Center (DIC)
(Base Level) 0 130 or Driver
Information Center (DIC) (Uplevel)
0 132. All gears below that number
are available to use. For example,
when 4 (Fourth) is shown next to the
L, 1 (First) through 4 (Fourth) gears
are shifted automatically. To shift to
5 (Fifth) gear or higher, press the
+ (Plus) button or shift into D (Drive).
L (Low) will prevent shifting to a
lower gear range if the engine
speed is too high. If vehicle speed is
not reduced within the time allowed,
the lower gear range shift will not be
completed. Slow the vehicle, then
press the (Minus) button to the
desired lower gear range.
While using the ERS, cruise control
can be used.
