Saturn 2008 Aura Automobile User Manual


 
Notice: If you drive in LOW (L) for more than
25 miles (40 km) or at speeds over 55 mph (90 km/h),
you could damage your engine and/or transmission.
Use DRIVE (D) or INTERMEDIATE (I) as much as
possible. Shift into LOW (L) only if your vehicle
is going slower than 65 mph (105 km/h).
Notice: Spinning the tires or holding the vehicle
in one place on a hill using only the accelerator
pedal may damage the transmission. The repair will
not be covered by your warranty. If you are stuck,
do not spin the tires. When stopping on a hill,
use the brakes to hold the vehicle in place.
MANUAL (M): This position, available on the
XR model, allows you to change gears similar to a
manual transmission. If your vehicle has this feature,
see TAP-shift

to a stop in the manual position, the vehicle
will automatically shift into FIRST (1) gear.
2. Press the (+) plus paddle located on top of the
steering wheel controls forward to upshift, or
push the backside of the shift paddle rearward
to downshift.
