Thanks for letting me know! Probably won't ever use it, but at least I know what its for now...lol. Thanks
Ohhhh Youll use it.......
next time youre on the freeway-- and youre in 'overdrive'--- well 6th... and you need to make a quick lane change--- youre going to step on the gas-- and youre going to notice that its going to take a little long to speed up- and respond apropriately....and youd probably have come on here telling us how you almost wrecked because youre traverse didnt speed up fast enough....
The solution is when you see yourself getting ready to make such a maneuver--- you shift to L- this puts the trans into 4... youll see the 4 appear on the dash- youll see your RPM's go up- and youll have a much more responsive engine-- with the revvs higher- youll also have more 'power' (vs the engine being at 1600 rpm or so at about 60)....
these higher rpms will let you have a more pep- to do the maneuver you need to do...
you can thenuse the + or - to take it to 3 and get higher RPM's as you slow down or shift to 5 or 6...
While in L--- the number you select-- is the gear that you specify as the highest geat the trans will go to...
if you select 3- it will get to 3.. and will not go to 4,5 ,6.... same with the other gears...
try it....
get on the freeway- get to lets say 60- and let the engine settle to overdrive- youll see the tach settle at about 1600 rpms... now step on the gas-- youll notice its slow to respond...
then do 60 again- let it settle....
then when ready- shift to L-- and step on the gas---- youll see
