Transmission
Automatic Transmission
Hold Mode
If the vehicle's transmission has hold mode, you can
select this mode to allow the automatic transmission to
stay in a specific gear range. Select hold mode to help
the vehicle maintain traction on slippery road surfaces,
such as snow, mud, or ice.
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 transmission
operation.
1-16
When Hold Mode is selected in D4 (Drive), the
transmission is held in 3 (Third) gear, which locks
out D4 (Drive). This allows for engine braking when
slowing from higher speeds.
When Hold Mode is selected in 2 (Second), the
transmission will start in 2 (Second) gear instead
of 1 (First), helping to reduce wheel spin when starting
out on slippery surface such as snow, mud or ice.
Since selecting Hold Mode in D4 (Drive) locks the
transmission in 3 (Third), and prevents downshifts
to 2 (Second) or 1 (First), acceleration from a stop
or near stop on dry pavement will be slower than
expected. Hold Mode should not be selected during
these situations.
See Automatic Transmission Operation on page 3‑23.
Cold Weather Shifting
When operating the vehicle in severe cold conditions,
the transmission may be prevented from shifting
into D4 gear until the transmission fluid has warmed
up to it's operational temperature.
Five-Speed Manual Transmission
Up‐Shift Light
Vehicles equipped with
a manual transmission
may have an up-shift light.
This light indicates when
to shift to the next higher
gear for better fuel
economy.
For the best fuel economy, accelerate slowly and shift
when the light comes on, if weather, road, and traffic
conditions allow.
It is normal for the light to go on and off if the
accelerator position changes quickly. Ignore the light
during downshifts.
Reverse Lockout
The manual transmission is equipped with a lock
ring to prevent shifting into R (Reverse). To shift into
R (Reverse), press down the clutch pedal, lift up the ring
on the shift lever and shift into R (Reverse). Let up on
the clutch pedal slowly while pressing the accelerator
pedal.
See Manual Transmission Operation on page 3‑26.

The Tire Pressure
Monitor alerts you when
a significant reduction in
pressure occurs in one or
more of the vehicle’s tires

pressure warning light on
the instrument cluster.
If the warning light comes on, stop as soon as possible
and inflate the tires to the recommended pressure
shown on the tire loading information label located on
the driver side center pillar (B pillar). See Loading the

You may notice during cooler conditions that the low tire
pressure warning light will appear when the vehicle is
first started and then turn off as you drive. This may be
an early indicator that your tire pressures are getting

pressure.
The Tire Pressure Monitor can alert you about low tire
pressure, but it does not replace normal monthly tire
maintenance. It is the driver’s responsibility to maintain
correct tire pressures.
