AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FEATURES

Electronic Range Select (ERS) Mode

The Electronic Range Select mode allows

the driver to manually select the range

of gear positions. This feature can be

used to limit the top gear while towing or

to downshift when driving on a downhill

grade to provide engine braking. ERS

is not designed to provide sportier

performance or to be used to shift gears

similar to a manual transmission.

Move the shift lever to the Manual (M)

position.

Press the +/– button (B) on the shift

lever to increase/decrease the gear

range available. All gears below the

selected gear will be available to use.

If vehicle speed is too high or too low for

the requested gear, the shift will not occur.

See Driving and Operating in your Owner Manual.

Fuel Economy (eco) Mode

The Fuel Economy (eco) mode (on

4-cylinder models only) can improve the

vehicle’s fuel economy by changing the

transmission shift points, adjusting climate

control operation and making sev eral other

fuel-saving adjustments. When eco mode

is engaged, transmission shifts may be

more noticeable and more noise and vibra-

tion at idle may be experienced.

Press the eco button (A) by the shift

lever to turn the eco mode on or off. The

eco light will illuminate on the instrument

cluster when active.
