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 to turn the system on/off. The Traction Control Off light will illuminate on the instrument cluster when the system is off.
See Driving and Operating in your Owner Manual.
Electric Parking Brake
To apply the parking brake, pull up the Parking Brake switch by the shift lever.
To release the parking brake, turn on the ignition, press the brake pedal and press down the Parking Brake switch.

eAssist Overview (if equipped)
A compact electric assist system called eAssist has been integrated with the highly efficient 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine and six-speed automatic transmission to provide an electric “boost” to help conserve fuel. eAssist includes a small, but powerful, electric motor rated at 15 kilowatts. It replaces the typical alternator found on most engines. \
eAssist also uses a small, advanced 115-volt lithium-ion battery located in the trunk.
eAssist Features
Auto Start/Stop
While driving, when the brake is applied and the vehicle comes to a complete stop, the automatic engine start/stop system may turn off the engine, referred to \
as an Auto Stop. In Auto Stop mode, the tachometer gauge will read AUTO STOP. The audio syst\
em, climate controls and other accessories will be powered by the high-voltage battery. The engine will restart immediately when the brake pedal is released or the accelerator pedal is applied.
After parking the vehicle and turning off the engine, the tachometer gauge will read OFF.
There are several conditions that may cause the engine to remain running or restart when the vehicle is stopped.
• The engine, transmission or high-voltage battery is not at the required operating temperature.
• The outside temperature is less than –4º F (–20º C).
• The shift lever is in any gear other than Drive (D).
• The high-voltage battery state of charge is low. It will automatically recharge as the vehicle is driven.
• The climate control system requires the engine to run based on the clima\
te control or defog setting. Using the eco Air Conditioning mode will result in more f\
requent and
longer Auto Stops than the Comfort Air Conditioning mode.
• The Auto Stop time is greater than two minutes.
See Driving and Operating in your Owner Manual.
Power Flow Display
The Power Flow display, located on the infotainment system touch screen, indicates the current eAssist operating mode, energy flow direction and high voltage battery charge level. The operating modes include Engine Idle, Auto Stop, Engine Power,\
Hybrid Power, and Regen Recovery.
