Second Gear Position

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2006 Mercury Mariner and 2006 Ford Escape. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

SECOND provides a 2nd gear hold position after automatic or manual upshift or downshift. When SECOND is selected from a stop, the transaxle will start in 2nd gear for maximum traction on slippery surfaces. Engine braking is provided in 2nd gear when in the SECOND position.
