To select the proper gear position for maximum

gear selector lever to the left (-). The transmission will
shift to the range from which the vehicle can best be
slowed down.

Reset Mode - Electronic Transmission

The transmission is monitored electronically for abnor-
mal conditions. If a condition is detected that could cause
damage, the transmission automatically shifts into 2nd
gear (3rd gear for six-speed). The transmission remains in
2nd gear (3rd gear for six-speed) despite the forward gear
selected. PARK, REVERSE, and NEUTRAL will continue
to operate. This Reset feature allows the vehicle to be
driven to an authorized dealer for service without dam-
aging the transmission.

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 into PARK.

3. Turn the ignition switch to the LOCK position.

4. Restart the engine.
