I am a bit confused by what I read in the manual about the "S" position on the SL AWD. What range of speed is accepatble for this gear?
The manual describes it as a second gear, while several websites describe it as a sport mode used for downhill braking. Can you ruin the tranny by driving in "S" mode for a long time?
This excerpt is from CarsDirect.com reviewer:
The CVT in the Murano comes with just three ranges: D for normal driving, S for sportier acceleration and L for the highest ratio, or lowest "gear" range. Shifting from D to S raises engine revs 2500 rpm at a given road speed. Dropping from S to L increases engine speed by another 1000 rpm.
Please forgive the naive question!
