Notice: If you drive in LOW (L) for more than 25 miles (40 km) or at speeds over 55 mph (90 km/h), you could damage your engine and/or transmission. Use DRIVE (D) or INTERMEDIATE (I) as much as possible. Shift into LOW (L) only if your vehicle is going slower than 65 mph (105 km/h). Notice: Spinning the tires or holding the vehicle in one place on a hill using only the accelerator pedal may damage the transmission. The repair will not be covered by your warranty. If you are stuck, do not spin the tires. When stopping on a hill, use the brakes to hold the vehicle in place. MANUAL (M): This position, available on the XR model, allows you to change gears similar to a manual transmission. If your vehicle has this feature, see TAP-shift®. TAP-shift® To use this feature, do the following: 1. Move the shift lever from DRIVE (D) rearward to MANUAL (M). While driving in manual mode, the transmission will remain in the driver selected gear. When coming to a stop in the manual position, the vehicle will automatically shift into FIRST (1) gear. 2. Press the (+) plus paddle located on top of the steering wheel controls forward to upshift, or push the backside of the shift paddle rearward to downshift. 2-29
