If equipped with the toggle on thegearshift lever:
•Press the (+) button to upshift.
•Press the (-) button to downshift.
If equipped with steering wheelpaddles:
With your vehicle in drive (D), the paddleshifters provide temporary manual control.They allow you the ability to shift gearsquickly, without taking your hands off thesteering wheel.
You can achieve extensive manual controlby moving the gearshift lever to the sport(S) position.
•Pull the right paddle (+) to upshift.
•Pull the left paddle (–) to downshift.
The system determines when temporarymanual control is no longer in use andreturns to automatic control.
Upshift to the recommended shift speedsaccording to the following chart:

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine If the transmission is in reverse (R), thefront sensing system provides audiowarnings when your vehicle is moving andthe detected obstacle is moving towardsyour vehicle. Once the vehicle is stationary,the audio warning will be stopped after 2seconds.
Obstacle Distance Indicator (If
Equipped)
The system provides obstacle distanceindication through the information display.The distance indicator displays when thetransmission is in reverse (R).
The indicator displays:
•As the distance to the obstacledecreases the indicator blocksilluminate and move towards thevehicle icon.
•If there is no obstacle detected, thedistance indicator blocks are greyedout.
Vehicles with automatic transmission
If the gearshift is in neutral (N), the systemprovides obstacle distance indicationthrough the information display. If yourvehicle moves the front sensing systemprovides an audible warning when thevehicle is moving at 7 mph (12 km/h) orbelow and an obstacle is located insidethe detection area. Once the vehicle isstationary, the audio warning will bestopped after 4 seconds.
If the gearshift is in drive (D) or any otherforward gear, the front sensing systemprovides audio warnings when the vehicleis moving and an obstacle is located insidethe detection area. Once the vehicle isstationary, the audio warning will bestopped after 2 seconds.
SIDE SENSING SYSTEM
The side sensing system uses the front andrear side sensors to detect obstacles thatare near to the sides of your vehicle. Thesystem places them on a virtual map in theinstrument cluster as your vehicle movespast them. The system detects obstacleseven when they are no longer in thesensor’s field of view.
Note:If an obstacle approaches the sideof the vehicle without passing a front or rearside sensor, the obstacle will not bedetected.
The side sensors are active when thetransmission is in any other position otherthan park (P).
Coverage area is up to 24 in (60 cm) fromthe side of your vehicle.
When the system detects an object closeto the side of your vehicle, an audiblewarning sounds. As the object comescloser to the side of your vehicle, the rateof the audible warning increases. The rateof the audible warning varies dependingon whether the obstacle is inside or outsideof the driving path of your vehicle.
