Automatic Transmission Features
Electronic Range Select (ERS) Mode
The Electronic Range Select mode allows the driver to manually select the range of gear positions. This feature can be used to limit the top gear while towing or to downshift when driving on a downhill grade to provide engine braking. ERS is not designed to provide sportier
performance or to be used to shift gears similar to a manual transmission.
Move the shift lever to the Manual (M) position.
Press the +/– button (B) on the shift lever to increase/decrease the gear range available. All gears below the selected gear will be available to use.
If vehicle speed is too high or too low for the requested gear, the shift will not occur.
See Driving and Operating in your Owner Manual.

The Low Tire Pressure warning light illuminates on the instrument cluster when a
significant reduction in pressure occurs in one or more of the vehicle’s tires. It will remain on until the tire pressure is corrected. Current tire pressures can be displayed using the Driver Information Center. Proper tire pressures are listed on the Tire and Loading Information label, located below the driver’s door latch.
Tire pressure is affected by cold weather and distance driven. If the lo\
w tire pressure warn-ing light illuminates and then turns off as the vehicle is driven in coo\
ler temperatures, check for the proper tire pressures. Maintaining tire pressures also is import\
ant for fuel economy.
See Vehicle Care in your Owner Manual.
