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.

When eco mode is engaged, transmission shifts may be more noticeable and more noise and vibra-tion at idle may be experienced.
