Low Position

MANUAL LOW provides a first gear hold after automatic or manual downshift. The transaxle is prevented from downshifting into first gear above a specific speed approximately 48 km/h (30 mph) to protect the powertrain from over speeding. Engine braking is provided in MANUAL LOW position making it especially useful for descending steep grades.
