TAP SHIFT
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. Move the shift lever to the M (Manual Mode) position.
2. Using the buttons on the back of the steering wheel, tap the left (–) button to downshift and the right (+) button to upshift. The current gear selection will be shown on the Driver Information Center and Head-Up Display♦.
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 transmission will automatically shift to 1st gear.
See Driving and Operating in your Owner's Manual.
The traction control
system limits wheelspin and the StabiliTrak
stability control system assists with directional control of the vehi-cle in difficult driving conditions. Both systems turn on automati-cally every time the vehicle is started.
Turn off traction control if the vehicle is stuck and rocking the vehicle is required.
Press the Traction Control/StabiliTrak button on the
center of the instrument panel. The Traction Control Off light on the instrument cluster will illuminate.
Press the button again to turn on traction control.
See Driving and Operating in your Owner's Manual.
