The table shows the speed ranges
for upshifting and downshifting. When you are in Sequential
SportShift mode, and the vehicle is
stopped, push forward on the shift
lever to shift to second gear. You
will see ‘‘2’’ in the display. Starting
out in second gear will help to
reduce wheelspin in deep snow or
on a slippery surface.
If you start out in second gear, the
transmission will be fixed in that
gear.

automatically downshift to first gear
even when the vehicle speed is
