the selector lever in the D position.

While in direct mode, the D and M

rearward for a certain amount of

time or longer.



The vehicle is driven for a certain

amount of time or longer (time

conditions while operating).



The vehicle is stopped or moving at a

slow speed.

mode is recommended if you need to

drive the vehicle in a particular gear for
