Selecting a Starting Gear
- In automatic mode, select drive (D) by sliding the selector switch downward to the next position below the neutral position.
- Disengage the clutch to engage the gear selected. Engage the clutch and drive the vehicle.
Note: To select a starting gear other than the default starting gear, either pull upward or push downward on the control while the vehicle is stopped and in drive (either manual or automatic mode). Each pull upward on the control increases the starting gear by one gear, but no higher than fourth gear. The number of the gear selected will flash on the message display screen until the driver engages the clutch. This gear will be stored in memory as the default starting gear until either a different starting gear is selected by the driver or the engine is shut down. The transmission may also be programmed so that it is not possible to select a starting gear other than the preprogrammed default starting gear.
