First Position

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.

Selection of the L position will allow first gear operation with no upshifts. First gear provides a first gear hold after automatic or manual downshift. The transmission is prevented from downshifting into first gear above a specific speed to protect the powertrain from over-speeding. Engine braking is provided in the L position.
