SECOND (2): This position gives you more power. You
can use SECOND (2) on hills. It can help control your
speed as you go down steep mountain roads, but then
you would also want to use your brakes off and on.
NOTICE:
Don't shift into SECOND (2) unless you are going
slower than 65 mph (105 km/h), or you can
damage your engine.
FIRST (1): This position gives you even more power
than SECOND (2). You can use it on very steep hills,
or in deep snow or mud. (If the shift lever is put in
FIRST (1), the transaxle won't shift into gear until the
vehicle is going slowly enough.)
NOTICE:
If your front wheels can't rotate, don't try to
drive. This might happen if you were stuck in
very deep sand or mud or were up against a solid
object. You could damage your transaxle.
Also, if you stop when going uphill, don't hold
your vehicle there with only the accelerator
pedal. This could cause overheating and damage
the transaxle. Use your brakes to hold your
vehicle in position on a hill.
Performance Shifting (DTS Only)
When your vehicle detects a change in driving
conditions, it will automatically initiate the appropriate
performance shift mode. When this occurs the gear
display on the instrument panel cluster will change to
indicate that the transmission has shifted to a different
gear. For example, the gear display on the cluster may
indicate D, 3, 2, or 1 even though the gearshift is still in
DRIVE (D). Once the performance shift mode ends, the
gear display on the cluster will return to normal.

two numeric digits.Once TIMER 00:00:00 is displayed, press the ON/OFF
button to start the timing feature. Press the ON/OFF
button again to stop it. If you will be starting and
stopping your vehicle, during a trip for instance, the
TIMER feature will automatically start timing where it
left off when you last stopped. To reset it, press and hold
the INFO RESET button until the display reads TIMER
00:00:00. Press the INFO button to exit from the
TIMER Display.

display ENGINE OIL LIFE, then press and hold the
INFO RESET button until 100% ENGINE OIL LIFE is

normal conditions, the rate of deterioration of the
transmission fluid is slow. See the Maintenance
Schedule booklet for proper fluid and change intervals.

then press and hold the INFO RESET button until 100%
TRANS FLUID LIFE is displayed. (This only needs to
be reset after you have had the fluid changed.)
