Low Position

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Mercury Mariner and 2007 Ford Escape. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

MANUAL LOW provides a 1st gear hold after automatic or manual downshift. The transaxle is prevented from downshifting into 1st gear above a specific speed approximately 48 km/h (30 mph) to protect the powertrain from over speeding. Engine braking is provided in MANUAL LOW position making it especially useful for descending steep grades.
