Drive Range, Manual First (from Drive, Manual Second) (W/o Electronic Range Select Mode): Notes

A manual 2-1 downshift is initiated by moving the gear selector lever to the Manual First (1) position. However, the transmission will not downshift into First gear until the vehicle speed is below approximately 60 km/h (37 mph). At higher vehicle speeds the PCM will keep the 1-2 shift solenoid valve de-energized (Off) and the transmission will operate in Manual First - Second Gear. In Manual First the transmission is electronically prevented from upshifting into Third or Fourth gears under any conditions. Also, the coast clutch remains applied, as in Manual Third and Manual Second, and the clutch provides engine compression braking in First and Second gears.
