Winter Driving Mode
(automatic transmissions only)
The Winter Driving Mode enables
the transmission to start the vehicle
moving in third gear. Third-gear
takeoff reduces torque applied to
the rear wheels, which reduces
wheelspin during slippery conditions.
The vehicle's acceleration capability
will be reduced when this system is
activated. Consequently, this feature
is not intended for continuous use.
The Winter Driving Mode can be
activated only when the transmission
is in Drive (D) gear and the vehicle
speed is below 28 mph (44.8 km/h).
Refer to your Owner Manual for
further information.
• The Winter Driving Mode button is
located at the top of the shift
designation panel. Press the
button once to turn the Winter
Driving Mode on or off. An
indicator light in the instrument
cluster will light when the mode is
active and will turn off when the
ignition is turned off.
Refer to Owner Manual for further information.

power until traction is regained.

traction situations. It is normal to
hear the system working, and the
system will automatically disengage
cruise control when activated.
