SECOND
GEAR
(2)
-
This position gives you more power but lower
fuel
economy. You can use SECOND GEAR
(2)
on hills. It can help
control your speed
as
you
go
down steep mountain roads,
but
then you
would
also
want
to
use your brakes
off
and
on.
If you manually select SECOND GEAR
(2),
the transmission will drive
in
second gear. You may use this feature for reducing torque
to
the rear
wheels when
you
are trying to start
your
vehicle from a stop
on
slippery road surfaces.
