In the case of LOW temperature after Starting, the

Automated Manual Transmission may not be able to

engage first gear. In this case a message ЉShift not

allowedЉ appears. In this situation use the engine block

heater.

WARNING!

Remember to disconnect the cord before driving.
Damage to the 110–115 Volt electrical cord could
cause electrocution.

NOTE:

The block heater will require 110 Volts AC and

6.5 Amps to activate the heater element.

AUTOMATED MANUAL TRANSMISSION

WARNING!

You or others could be injured if you leave the
vehicle unattended without fully applying the park-
ing brake. The parking brake should always be
applied when the driver is not in the vehicle.

The automated manual transmission is a conventional

six-speed manual transmission with an electronically-

controlled hydraulic system that controls the clutch and

gear shifting. In forward gears, this transmission offers

two modes of operation:

MANUAL (M) Mode — where the driver controls the

transmission shifting.

Automatic Mode (the DRIVE [D] position) — where

the electronic system controls the gear shifts.
