FEATURES AND CONTROLS SECOND (2): This position gives you more power than THIRD (3) but lower fuel economy. You can use SECOND (2) on hills. It can help control your speed as you go down steep mountain roads, but then you would also want to use your brakes off and on. CAUTION If your front wheels won't turn, don't try to drive. This might happen if you were stuck in very deep sand or mud or were up against a solid object. You could damage your transmission. Also, if you stop when going uphill, don't hold your vehicle there with only the accelerator pedal. This could overheat and damage the transmission. Use your brakes to hold your vehicle in position on a hill. Fuzzy Function Your automatic transmission will automatically select a adaptive shift pattern using fuzzy logic. • Economy mode is applied as often as possible. Economy Medium Load 1 Sport CAUTION Don't drive in SECOND (2) at speeds over 65 mph (105 km/h), or you can damage your transmission. Use THIRD (3) or AUTOMATIC OVERDRIVE (D) as much as possible. Don't shift into SECOND (2) unless you are going slower than 65 mph (105 km/h) or you can damage your engine. FIRST (1): This position gives you even more power than SECOND (2) but lower fuel economy. You can use it on very steep hills, or in deep snow or mud. If the shift lever is put in FIRST (1), the transmission won't shift into first gear until the vehicle is going slowly enough. Load 2 Load 3 L3U2037AS • Driver adaptive shift patterns are activated for a minimum time. • "Load 1" is designed for a driving on moderate road gradients. • "Load 2" is active while going up steep hills. • "Load 3" is intended for downhill driving for better engine braking. CAUTION The first few shifts may be somewhat rough on a new vehicle. This is normal condition and shift feel will improve soon because the automatic transmission control system performs adaptation functions. Emergency Operation If the automatic transmission experiences a malfunction, the malfunction indicator 2-15
