To use this feature, do the following:
1. Move the shift lever to the MANUAL
MODE (M).
2. Press the plus/minus button, to upshift or
downshift selecting the desired range of
gears for your current driving conditions.
When in the MANUAL MODE (M) a number will
display next to the M, indicating the current gear
that has been selected. The DIC display will show
the message MANUAL SHIFT on the rst line and
the current gear will be displayed on the second
line. SeeDriver Information Center (DIC) on
page 245andDIC Operation and Displays on
page 245for more information. The number
displayed in the DIC is the highest gear that can be
used. However, your vehicle can automatically shift
to lower gears as it adjusts to driving conditions.This means that all gears below that number are
available. When FIFTH (5) is selected, FIRST (1)
through FIFTH (5) gears are automatically shifted
by the vehicle, but SIXTH (6) cannot be used until
the plus/minus button located on the steering
column lever is used to change to the gear.
The transmission will prevent a gear range until a
speed that is appropriate for current driving
conditions is achieved. If shifting is prevented for
any reason, the current selected gear will ash
multiple times in the DIC.
Grade Braking is not available when the Driver
Shift Control is active. SeeTow/Haul Mode
on page 150for more information.
While using the DSC, cruise control and the
