ing start,  depress  the brake  pedal, shift
the  shift  lever  to  D  (Drive). Select  the

weight and  steepness of the  grade, and
release  the parking  brake. Depress  the
accelerator gradually while  releasing the
service brakes.

steep hill, the vehicle may  have a ten-

shift lever  into 2 (Second Gear)  while
in  Sport  mode  will help  prevent  the
vehicle from rolling backwards.
