Sport Mode Lamp: Description and Operation
Winter Switch
WINTER SWITCH
In order to facilitate starting if the road is slippery, the transmission is fitted with a winter starting program. The transmission is then automatically
prevented from engaging first and second gears and the car is started in third gear.
A spring-loaded switch in the selector lever's console makes it possible to select the WINTER gear shifting program.
Activation of the switch gives V (ground) on pin 21 of the TCM.
The WINTER indicator lamp in the main instrument comes on at the same time as WINTER is selected. WINTER can be selected in gear D with
the result that SPORT cannot be selected.
WINTER is disconnected if:
^
the switch is depressed,
^
the ignition is switched on or off,
^
the kick-down contact is activated for >2 seconds,
^
the speed is >80 km/h (50 mph),
^
the fluid temperature is >150°C, or
^
limp-home occurs.
