It allows you to skip first gear and start in second so that you can have better control in really deep snow and situations where you need more traction. Hit manual and put the selector in 2...it will skip 1st gear and start in second. Don't use it unless you need to.

If you're in 2 isn't that the highest gear you can go? ..or does pushing the manual button override that

Thats my understanding, and that it can only be used in 2 or 3 not in 4. With the gearshift in 2 it will be like you said but if its in 3 it will start out in second but will allow the transmission to upshift to third. Only thing is i can't find my damn manual to confirm it.

Yup. In 2 it makes the transmission hold 2. In 3 it lets it switch between 2 and 3.

That's the highest it will go

unless you hit redline.

Redline overrides all other priorities and forces a shift.
