Mode Select: Notes

In addition to providing drive, and electronically controlling the gear changes throughout the conventional gear selection range in both high and low ranges, the automatic transmission system also incorporates a mode select facility. This feature enables the driver to select the gear change strategy that most suits the current driving conditions. The mode switch, situated adjacent to the rear of the automatic selector gate, can be used to select a Sport mode when in high range, and Manual mode when low range is selected. During the power-up procedure after the ignition is switched on, the Electronic Automatic Transmission Electronic Control Unit (EAT ECU) defaults to an economy mode.
