vehicle is required.

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.
DRIVE MODE CONTROL SYSTEM
The Drive Mode Control System automatically adjusts steering,
automatic transmission (if equipped) and Magnetic Ride Control (if equipped) settings in real time.
Press the MODE button on the center console to select Touring
(default at each ignition cycle), Sport, or Snow/Ice♦ modes.
See Driving and Operating in your Owner Manual.
