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.

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. If the transmission cannot be reset, authorized

dealer service is required.
Electronic Range Select (ERS) Operation
The Electronic Range Select (ERS) shift control allows the

driver to limit the highest available gear. For example, if

you shift the transmission into 5 (fifth gear), the trans-

mission will not shift above fifth gear, but will shift

through the lower gears normally.

You can switch between DRIVE and ERS mode at any

vehicle speed. When the shift lever is in the DRIVE

position, the transmission will operate automatically,

shifting between all available gears.
Moving the shift lever to the ERS position (beside

DRIVE) will activate ERS mode, display the current gear

in the instrument cluster, and maintain that gear as the

top available gear. Once in ERS mode, moving the shift

lever forward (-) or rearward (+) will change the top

available gear.
To exit ERS mode, simply return the shift lever to the

DRIVE position.

WARNING!

Do not downshift for additional engine braking on a

slippery surface. The drive wheels could lose their

grip and the vehicle could skid, causing a collision or

personal injury.
