damage, the transmission will engage Limp Home Mode.

If vehicle acceleration worsens or the transmission no

longer shifts, the transmission is most likely operating in

the Limp Home Mode. In this mode, the transmission

will remain in the current gear until the vehicle is

brought to a stop. After the vehicle has stopped, PARK,

REVERSE, and NEUTRAL will continue to operate. Sec-

ond gear will operate in the DRIVE position. The Mal-

function Indicator Light (MIL) may be illuminated.
A reset feature is available to allow the vehicle to be

driven to an authorized dealer for service. To reset the

transmission, use the following procedure:
1. Stop the vehicle.
2. Move the shift lever into the PARK position.
3. Turn the ignition switch to the LOCK position (OFF

position with Keyless Enter-N-Go).
4. Wait approximately 10 seconds.

5. Restart the engine.
6. Move the shift lever into the desired range. If the

problem is no longer detected, the transmission will

return to normal operation.
NOTE:

Even if the transmission can be reset, we recom-

mend that you visit your authorized dealer at your

earliest possible convenience. Your authorized dealer has

diagnostic equipment to determine if the problem could

recur.
Have the transmission checked at your authorized dealer

as soon as possible.
If the problem has been momentary, the transmission can

be reset to regain all forward gears.
