2007 Chevrolet Aveo Owner's Manual - Page 114

FIRST (1): This position gives you even more power but lower fuel economy than SECOND (2). You can use it on very steep hills, or in deep snow or mud. If the shift lever is put in FIRST (1), the transaxle will not shift into first gear until the vehicle is going slowly enough. Notice: Spinning the tires or holding the vehicle in one place on a hill using only the accelerator pedal may damage the transaxle. If you are stuck, do not spin the tires. When stopping on a hill, use the brakes, or parking brake to hold the vehicle in place. If there is a malfunction with the automatic transaxle, the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) or the HOLD indicator light will turn on or flash. See Malfunction Indicator Lamp on page 181 or Hold Mode Light on page 181. Have your vehicle fixed as soon as possible. Hold Mode If your vehicle's transaxle has hold mode, you can select this mode to drive with some characteristics of a manual transaxle. With hold mode turned on, the automatic transaxle will stay in a specific gear range. Press the HOLD button on the shift lever console to turn on hold mode. Press the button again to turn off hold mode, and return to normal automatic transaxle operation. 114
