TABLE OF CONTENTS

ELECTRONIC RANGE SELECTION (ERS)
• The Electronic Range Select (ERS) featureallows you to select the desired top gear.
For example, if you shift the transmission
into third gear, the transmission will never
shift above third gear, but can shift down to
second or first gear automatically when
needed.
• To shift from DRIVE mode to ERS mode, move the shift lever to the left (-) once. The
current gear will be maintained as the top
gear. To disable ERS, simply press and hold
the shift lever to the right (+) until “D” is
displayed in the instrument cluster
odometer.
• Switching from ERS to DRIVE can be done at any vehicle speed.
MANUAL CLIMATE CONTROLS

RECREATIONAL TOWING

BRAKE/TRANSMISSION

OVERRIDE
• The manual override may be used in the event that the shift lever should
fail to move from PARK with the Key
Fob in the ON/RUN position and the
brake pedal pressed.
• To operate the shift lock manual override, perform the following steps: • Remove the cover located to the
top right of the shift lever in the
instrument panel.
• The override can be activated by pressing the white-colored tab,
which can be accessed through the
hole in the instrument panel.
• While the override is pressed, the shift lever can be moved out of the
PARK position without pressing the
brake pedal. After operation, return
the cover to its original position.
• Have your vehicle inspected by your local authorized dealer immediately if
the shift lock manual override has
been used.
NOTE: If a malfunction occurs, the
system will trap the Key Fob in the
ignition cylinder to warn you that this
safety feature is inoperable. The engine
can be started and stopped, but the Key
Fob cannot be removed until you obtain
service.
