Starting in Second Gear
When you are in Sequential
SportShift mode, and the vehicle is
stopped, push forward on the shift
lever to shift to second gear. You will
see

‘‘2’’ in the display. Starting out in

second gear will help to reduce
wheelspin in deep snow or on a
slippery surface.

If you start out in second gear, the
transmission will be fixed in that
gear.

The transmission will not
automatically downshift to first gear
even when the vehicle speed is
under 10 mph (16 km/h). You need
to shift down to first gear manually.
