1-4 In Brief
Starting the Engine
The vehicle has a
Computer-Controlled Cranking
System. It assists in starting the
engine and protects components.
If the ignition key is turned to
START and then released when the
engine begins cranking, the engine
will continue cranking for a few
seconds or until the engine starts.
If the engine does not start and the
key is held in START, cranking will
be stopped after 15 seconds to
prevent damage. To prevent gear
damage, cranking is not allowed if
the engine is running. Engine
cranking can be stopped by
turning the ignition key to ACC/
ACCESSORY or LOCK/OFF. See
Starting the Engine on page 9‑19.

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.
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 on
page 9‑25.
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 its 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.
