SECOND (2) and THIRD (3) Gear Start Feature When accelerating your vehicle from a stop in snowy and icy conditions, you may want to select SECOND (2) and THIRD (3) gear. A higher gear, and light application of the gas pedal, may allow you to gain more traction on slippery surfaces. With the Manual Shift Mode, the vehicle can accelerate from a stop in SECOND (2) or THIRD (3). 1. Move the shift lever from DRIVE (D) into the manual gate. 2. With the vehicle stopped, move the shift lever forward to select SECOND (2) or THIRD (3). The vehicle will start from a stop position in SECOND (2) or THIRD (3). 3. Once the vehicle is moving select the desired drive gear or move the shift lever to the DRIVE (D) position. Parking Brake The parking brake lever is located to the right of the driver's seat. To set the parking brake, hold the brake pedal down and pull up on the parking brake lever. If the ignition is on, the brake system warning light will come on. To release the parking brake, hold the brake pedal down. Pull the parking brake lever up until you can press the release button.
