Hold Control Mode
This smart little feature is integrated into the available four-speed automatic transmission. It helps reduce wheel spin and loss of traction when traveling on slick roads by allowing you to select a higher gear to reduce torque. You can also use it to help you maximize control on hilly or twisting roads by remaining in a lower gear.
Here's how it works:
- Press the HOLD button.
- The transmission becomes a three-speed manual and will stay in the gear that has been selected.
- The HOLD light illuminates on the instrument panel.
- The maximum speed for each shift lever position will be achieved when the engine redlines. The transmission will not upshift.
- Press the HOLD button again to return to the automatic transmission.
