Shift Control - D with D4 Driving Mode Control
This automatic transmission is equipped with a D4 driving mode. D has two modes; general driving mode (shifts gears automatically 1st through 6th gears), and the D4 driving mode (shifts gears automatically 1st through 4th gears). The transmission switches modes when you press the D4 button on the shift lever knob in D.
In the D4 driving mode, the D4 indicator next to the D indicator in the gauge control module comes on. The D4 driving mode is cancelled by pressing the D4 button, and the D4 indicator goes off. Also, the D4 driving mode is cancelled when the ignition switch is turned to LOCK (0). When the shift lever is moved out of D in the D4 driving mode, the D4 indicator goes off, but the transmission returns to the D4 driving mode when returning the shift lever into D, and the D4 indicator comes on.
