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 when the shift

lever is in the DRIVE position. For example, if you shift

the transmission into 3 (third gear), the transmission will

not shift above third gear, but will shift down into second

and first 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. Tapping the ERS (-)

switch 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, tapping the ERS (-) or

(+) switch will change the top available gear.

To exit ERS mode, simply press and hold the ERS (+)

switch until “D” is once again displayed in the transmis-

sion gear position indicator in the instrument cluster.
