In the event of a momentary problem, the transmission

can be reset to regain all forward gears by performing the

following steps:
1. Stop the vehicle.
2. Shift the transmission into PARK.
3. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position.
4. Wait approximately 10 seconds.
5. Restart the engine.
6. Shift into the desired gear range. If the problem is no

longer detected, the transmission will return to normal

operation.

NOTE:

Even if the transmission can be reset, we recom-

mend that you visit your authorized dealer at your

earliest possible convenience. Your authorized dealer has

diagnostic equipment to determine if the problem could

recur.

If the transmission cannot be reset, authorized dealer

service is required.
Electronic Range Select (ERS) Operation
The Electronic Range Select (ERS) shift control allows the

driver to limit the highest available gear when the

transmission is in DRIVE. For example, if you shift the

transmission into 4 (fourth gear), the transmission will

not shift above fourth gear, but will shift through the

lower gears normally.
You can switch between DRIVE and ERS mode at any

vehicle speed. When the shift lever is in the DRIVE

position, the transmission will operate automatically,

shifting between all available gears. Tapping the ERS (-)

switch will activate ERS mode, display the current gear in

the instrument cluster, and maintain that gear as the top

available gear. Once in ERS mode, tapping the ERS (-) or

(+) switch will change the top available gear.
