PowerShift Automatic Transmission*
We designed this transmission for
fun-to-drive performance and exceptional
fuel efficiency, by using the advantages
of a manual transmission with the
convenience of an automatic transmission.
You may notice the following
characteristics of this technology:
• Mechanical noises after switching the
engine off, opening the driver door
and during some transmission shifting
events. These are normal and do not cause damage.
• Firm gearshifts when moving the accelerator pedal back
and forth quickly.
Your transmission continuously makes electronic adjustments
to optimize shift quality and acceleration performance. It makes
most of the adjustments during the first 1,000 miles (1610
kilometers) of operation. During this break-in period, you may
feel slight vibrations when accelerating your vehicle from low
speeds. See the Transmission chapter of your Owner's Manual
for details.
SelectShift Automatic Transmission*
This transmission gives you the ability to
manually change gears if you’d like.
To Use
• Move the gearshift lever from drive (D)
to sport (S).
• Activate SelectShift by using the thumb
toggle located on the side of your
gearshift lever to make manual shifts.
• Press the (+) button to upshift. Press
the (–) button to downshift.
Hill Start Assist*
The system makes it easier to pull away when you park your
vehicle on a slope without using the parking brake. When active,
this feature allows your vehicle to remain stationary on a slope
for up to two to three seconds after you release the brake
pedal. This short period gives you time to move your foot to the
accelerator and pull away. This feature activates automatically
if the sensors detect that the vehicle is on a slope.

Rear View Camera System with Parking Aid*
This system provides
a video image of the
area behind the vehicle.
Switch on your audio
system and ignition, and
the display appears in
the touchscreen when
the vehicle is in reverse
(R). The system uses
green, yellow and red guides to alert you of your proximity to
objects. The camera is on the liftgate (near the handle) or on
the trunk near the license plate bracket.
Heated Exterior Mirrors*
The outside mirrors have
heating elements that
defrost or de-mist the
mirror glass. The feature
turns on automatically
when you switch on the
rear defrost.
Rear Sensing System*
The system sounds an audible
warning tone if there is an
obstacle near the vehicle’s rear
bumpers. As the vehicle moves
closer to the obstacle, the rate
of the warning tone increases in
frequency. The rear sensors are
active only when the vehicle is in
reverse (R), and detects objects
up to 6 feet (1.8 meters) away,
with decreased coverage at the
outer corners of the bumper. See the Parking Aids chapter in
your Owner’s Manual for complete information
on your vehicle’s sensing systems.
Note: Visibility aids do not replace the need to watch where
the vehicle is moving. Refer to your Owner’s Manual for safety
information, more details and limitations.
