Automatic Transmission
StabiliTrak®/Traction Control Systems
The traction control system limits wheelspin and the StabiliTrak electro\
nic stability control system assists with directional control of the vehicle in difficult driving conditions. Both
systems turn on automatically every time the vehicle is started.
Driver Shift Control
Driver Shift Control allows the driver to shift gears manually. This feature can be used to drive the vehicle in a sportier manner or to downshift when driving on a\
downhill grade to provide engine braking.
Move the shift lever to the left of the Drive (D) position. Tap the shift lever forward (+) to upshift or rearward to downshift (–). The currently selected gear will be displayed on the instrument cluster.
If vehicle speed is too high or too low for the requested gear, the shift will not occur. When coming to a stop, the transmission will automatically downshift.
See Driving and Operating in your Owner Manual.
Turning Off Traction Control
Turn off traction control if the vehicle is stuck and rocking the vehicle is required.
Press the StabiliTrak/Traction Control button on the top center of the instrument panel. The Traction Control Off light will illuminate on the instrument cluster.
Press the button again to turn on traction control.
See Driving and Operating in your Owner Manual.

Driver Efficiency Gauge
The driver efficiency gauge assists you in driving efficiently. To maximize efficiency, attempt to keep the pointer in the solid green zone in the middle of the\
gauge. The gauge moves down when braking and up when accelerating or driving at high speeds. When
driving aggressively, it is less efficient and the gauge will move farther away from center. The eAssist system’s ability to capture energy while the vehicle is slowing down makes decelerating important for vehicle efficiency.
See Instruments and Controls in your Owner Manual.
Climate Control Settings
Press the A/C button twice to select the eco Air Conditioning setting (green A/C indica-tor) for maximum efficiency. This setting will maximize the frequency and duration of Auto Stops while still providing cabin comfort when the vehicle is in an Auto Stop. To further maximize efficiency, operate the climate controls in the Automatic mode at the high-est comfortable temperature setting or turn off the air conditioning system when climate conditions allow.
Select the Comfort Air Conditioning setting (amber A/C indicator) for maximum cabin
comfort. Auto Stops will be reduced in both frequency and duration.
See Climate Controls in your Owner Manual.
Regenerative Braking
When braking or coasting, the electric motor acts like a generator to ch\
arge the high-voltage battery. This “regenerative braking” process captures kine\
tic energy that would otherwise be lost and stores it in the high-voltage battery. This electrical energy can then be reused.
Note: Capturing kinetic energy causes transmission shifts that have more feel when braking or coasting.
See In Brief in your Owner Manual.
Next Generation Transmission
The eAssist system employs a next generation six-speed transmission with sophisticated algorithms that continuously store information about your driving style, such as acceleration and braking. Over the first 250–400 miles, some transmission shifts may be more notice-able. As the vehicle is driven in a variety of city and highway driving conditions, eAssist will use its on-board processing power to quickly “learn” your driving habits in order to deliver a seamless driving experience.
See Driving and Operating in your Owner Manual.
Hill Start Assist
After stopping on an incline, the Hill Start Assist feature momentarily holds the vehicle when the brake pedal is released. The driver-applied brake pressure is used during the stop to keep the vehicle from rolling during the period between when the\
brake pedal is released and the accelerator pedal is applied.
See Driving and Operating in your Owner Manual.
