2 (Second) and 3 (Third) Gear Start
Feature
When accelerating the vehicle from a stop in snowy
and icy conditions, you may want to select 2 (Second)
and 3 (Third) gear. A higher gear, and light application of
the gas pedal, may allow you to gain more traction on
slippery surfaces.

accelerate from a stop in 2 (Second) or 3 (Third).
1. Move the shift lever from D (Drive) into the
manual gate.
2. With the vehicle stopped, move the shift lever
forward to select 2 (Second) or 3 (Third).
The vehicle will start from a stop position
in 2 (Second) or 3 (Third).

drive gear or move the shift lever to the D (Drive)
position.
