Electronic Range Select (ERS) Mode
The Electronic Range Select mode allows
the driver to manually select the range
of gear positions. This feature can be
used to limit the top gear while towing or
to downshift when driving on a downhill
grade to provide engine braking. ERS
is not designed to provide sportier
performance or to be used to shift gears
similar to a manual transmission.

position.

lever to increase/decrease the gear
range available. All gears below the
selected gear will be available to use.
If vehicle speed is too high or too low for
the requested gear, the shift will not occur.
