accelerate from a stopped position.
The winter driving mode button is
located on the center console.
Press once to turn on the winter
driving mode feature. The vehicle
will be in THIRD (3) gear when the

upshift normally.

button again.

the winter program turns off
automatically at high transmission
oil temperatures.
