Shifting Program, WINTER
To make it easier to pull off on slippery road surfaces, the transmission is equipped with a winter mode. The transmission then only uses 3rd and 4th gears. The car will start in 3rd gear. For kickdown, see below.

A switch, located on the selector lever console, allows the WINTER shifting program to be selected.

Activating the switch puts 0 Volts (ground) on control module pin 22.

WINTER can be selected in gear position D, whereby SPORT cannot be selected.

TCM sends WINTER bus information about the current setting (unit ON/OFF). When "WINTER ON" is sent, the WINTER indicator lamp on the main instrument unit lights.

Functions in various selector lever positions when WINTER shifting program is selected:

P WINTER can be selected.

R WINTER can be selected.

N WINTER can be selected.

D WINTER program in 3rd and 4th. SPORT cannot be selected and is deselected when WINTER is selected. If kickdown is activated, the normal shifting program is temporarily engaged.

3 Same as for selector lever position D except that 3rd gear is locked.

2 WINTER can not be selected.

1 WINTER can not be selected.

WINTER will be disengaged if:
^ the switch is pressed
^ the ignition key is turned to OFF.
^ the fluid temperature is >140°C.
^ Limp-home is activated.
^ 1st or 2nd gear is selected.
^ kickdown is activated but will return to WINTER when kickdown is disengaged.
