PARK, REVERSE, and NEUTRAL will continue to oper-

ate. The Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) may be illu-

minated. Limp Home Mode allows the vehicle to be

driven to an authorized dealer for service without dam-

aging 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.

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 when the

transmission is in DRIVE. For example, if you shift the

transmission into 4 (fourth gear), the transmission will

not shift above fourth gear (except to prevent engine

overspeed), but will shift through the lower gears nor-

mally.
