Understanding your SelectShift™ Automatic Transmission
gearshift lever (SST)
This vehicle is equipped with a
SelectShift™ Automatic
Transmission (SST) gearshift lever.
SST is an automatic transmission
with the ability for the driver to
change gears up or down (without a
clutch) as desired. By moving the
gearshift lever from drive position
(D) to the right into Manual (M)
you now have control of selecting
the gear you desire.
Initially when moving the lever to
the manual mode (M), the message
center display on the instrument
cluster will show D and the O/D
OFF lamp will illuminate. This mode
is Overdrive Cancel and Grade
Assist. Only by moving the lever in the forward (-) or backward (+)
position will the transmission utilize the manual mode for select shifting.
To manually downshift the transmission:
1. Move the gearshift lever forward to (-).
2. Release the lever, and it will return to the M position. The
transmission will downshift.
To manually upshift the transmission:
1. Move the gearshift lever rearward into (+).
2. Release the lever, and it will return to the M position. The
transmission will upshift.
When selecting the appropriate gear in SST mode, the message center
display on the instrument cluster will show the current selected gear you
are in.
