Drive Low Mode Engine On: Notes
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2019 Chevrolet Malibu. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
When the gear selector lever is in the Drive (D) position and the HPCM determines that operating conditions are appropriate, the internal combustion engine (ICE) is started, the main fluid pump provides hydraulic fluid pressure. If Drive (D) is selected after the vehicle was operating in Reverse EV Mode or Park (Engine off), the variable low clutch stays applied. After Engine Start, the following changes would occur to the transmission's hydraulic and electrical systems in order to start the vehicle moving from a stopped position.
