Pontiac 2007 G6 - Manual (Page 132)

You can use LOW (L) on very steep hills, or in deep
snow or mud. If the shift lever is put in LOW (L), the
transaxle will not shift into first gear until the vehicle
is going slowly enough.
Notice: Driving in LOW (L) for more than
25 miles (40 km) or at speeds over 55 mph
(90 km/h) may damage the transaxle. Also,
shifting into LOW (L) at speeds above 65 mph
(105 km/h) can cause damage. Drive in
THIRD (3) or DRIVE (D) instead of LOW (L).
Notice: Spinning the tires or holding the
vehicle in one place on a hill using only the
accelerator pedal may damage the transaxle.
If you are stuck, do not spin the tires. When
stopping on a hill, use the brakes, or parking
brake to hold the vehicle in place.
MANUAL MODE (M): This position, available on
the GT/GTP models, allows you to change gears
similar to a manual transaxle. If your vehicle has
this feature, see Manual Shift Mode (MSM)
following.
Manual Shift Mode (MSM)
(Automatic Transaxle)
To use this feature, do the following:
1. Move the shift lever from DRIVE (D) rearward
and then to the right into the MANUAL
MODE (M).
While driving in manual shift mode, the
transaxle will remain in the driver gear selected.
When coming to a stop in the manual position,
the vehicle will automaticaly shift to
FIRST (1) gear.
2. Press the shift level forward to upshift or
rearward to downshift.
The odometer display on the instrument panel
cluster will change from the vehicle’s mileage to
the letter M, for manual shift mode, and a number
indicating the requested gear range when
moving the shift lever forward or rearward. See
Speedometer and Odometer on page 194 for more
information.
While using the MSM feature the vehicle will have
firmer shifting and sportier performance. You can
use this for sport driving or when climbing hills to
stay in gear longer or to downshift for more power
or engine braking.
