Steering Wheel Tap Shift♦StabiliTrak®/Traction Control Systems
The 6-speed automatic transmission has a Tap Shift mode that allows you to shift gears similar to a manual transmission.
Using Tap Shift
1. While in Drive (D), use either paddle behind the steering wheel to temporarily take control of gear selection.
2. Pull the right paddle to upshift or the left paddle to downshift.
If current vehicle speed is too high or too low for the requested gear, the shift will not occur. When coming to a stop, the transmis-sion will automatically shift to 1st gear.
The automatic transmission also can be manually controlled by moving the shift lever to the left gate; tap the lever forward to upshift and rearward to downshift.
See Driving and Operating in your Owner Manual.
