Starting in Second Gear
When you are in sequential shift
mode, and the vehicle is stopped,
pull the ＋ (right) paddle shifter to
shift to second gear. You will see
''M2'' in the display. Starting in
second gear helps to reduce
wheelspin in deep snow or on a
slippery surface.
Recommended Shift Points
Drive in the highest gear that lets the
engine run and accelerate smoothly.
This will give you good fuel economy
and effective emissions control. The
following shift points are
recommended:
