What Is Start in Gear

Crank in gear allows the driver to restart the engine and launch the vehicle after stalling in four-wheel drive low (4L). Use the instrument cluster display to direct you when to apply the brake and push the start button. While driving off road, it is possible to stall the engine trying to maneuver the terrain. Trying to restart your vehicle by using the clutch or shifting into neutral to restart the engine can be difficult and cause potential roll back situations when driving uphill.

Note: Crank in gear is an alternate name for the feature.
