Owner Letter - Insert To Be Added With Owner Letter

Note
This insert to be included with letter.

Manual Mode

Manual Shift Mode (MSM)

(Automatic Transmission)

To use this feature, do the following:

1. Move the shift lever from D (Drive) rearward to M (Manual).
The transmission will downshift to a lower gear and the instrument panel will display the gear range selected.

When coming to a stop in the manual position, the vehicle will automatically shift to 1 (First) gear.

2. Press the plus (+) button to upshift or the minus (-) button to downshift.

While using the MSM feature the vehicle will have sportier performance. You can use this when driving hilly roads to stay in gear longer or to downshift for more power or engine braking. The transmission will only allow you to shift into a gear range appropriate for the vehicle speed.

- The transmission will not automatically shift to the next higher gear range without pressing the button on the shifter handle.

- The transmission will not allow shifting to the next lower gear if the vehicle speed is too high.

If the vehicle does not respond to a gear change, or detects a problem with the transmission, the range of gears may be reduced and the Malfunction Indicator Lamp will come on.
