Rear Window Defogger Chevrolet Aveo Owner Manual - 2011 Black plate (14,1) 1-14 In Brief Transmission Automatic Transmission Hold Mode If the vehicle's transmission has Hold Mode, you can select this mode to allow the automatic transmission to stay in a specific gear range. Select Hold Mode to help the vehicle maintain traction on slippery road surfaces, such as snow, mud, or ice. Climate Control System with Heater Only A. Temperature Control B. Fan Control C. Air Delivery Mode Control D. Rear Window Defogger E. Outside Air/Recirculation See Climate Control Systems on page 8‑1. Chevrolet Aveo Owner Manual - 2011 Black plate (15,1) When Hold Mode is selected in 2 (Second), the transmission will start in 2 (Second) gear instead of 1 (First), helping to reduce wheel spin when starting out on slippery surface such as snow, mud or ice. Since selecting Hold Mode in D4 (Drive) locks the transmission in 3 (Third), and prevents downshifts to 2 (Second) or 1 (First), acceleration from a stop or near stop on dry pavement will be slower than expected. Hold Mode should not be selected during these situations. See Automatic Transmission on page 9‑25. Cold Weather Shifting When operating the vehicle in severe cold conditions, the transmission may be prevented from shifting into D4 gear until the transmission fluid has warmed up to its operational temperature. In Brief 1-15 Five-Speed Manual Transmission Up‐Shift Light Vehicles equipped with a manual transmission may have an up-shift light. This light indicates when to shift to the next higher gear for better fuel economy. For the best fuel economy, accelerate slowly and shift when the light comes on, if weather, road, and traffic conditions allow. It is normal for the light to go on and off if the accelerator position changes quickly. Ignore the light during downshifts. Press the HOLD button on the shift lever console to turn on Hold Mode. Press the button again to turn off Hold Mode, and return to normal automatic transmission operation. When Hold Mode is selected in D4 (Drive), the transmission is held in 3 (Third) gear, which locks out D4 (Drive). This allows for engine braking when slowing from higher speeds.
