SPORT
This mode alters the transmission’s automatic shift

schedule for sportier driving. Upshift speeds are in-

creased to make full use of available engine power.
To toggle between normal mode and SPORT mode, press

the SPORT switch on the instrument panel.
Transmission Limp Home Mode
Transmission function is monitored electronically for

abnormal conditions. If a condition is detected that could

result in transmission damage, Transmission Limp Home

Mode is activated. In this mode, the transmission remains

in the current gear until the vehicle is brought to a stop.

After the vehicle has stopped, the transmission will

remain in second gear regardless of which forward gear

is selected. PARK, REVERSE, and NEUTRAL will con-

tinue to operate. The Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL)

may be illuminated. Limp Home Mode allows the vehicle

to be driven to an authorized dealer for service without

damaging the transmission.
In the event of a momentary problem, the transmission

can be reset to regain all forward gears by performing the

following steps:
1. Stop the vehicle.
2. Shift the transmission into PARK.
3. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position.
4. Wait approximately 10 seconds.
5. Restart the engine.
6. Shift into the desired gear range. If the problem is no

longer detected, the transmission will return to normal

operation.
