conditions. Both systems turn on automatically 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 console. The Traction Control Off light on the instrument cluster will illuminate.
Press the button again to turn on traction control.

STABILITRAK®/TRACTION
CONTROL SYSTEMS
The 8-speed automatic transmis-sion has an available Tap Shift mode that allows you to shift gears similar to a manual trans-mission.
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 trans mission 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's Manual.
DRIVER MODE CONTROL SYSTEM
The Driver 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 Tour (default at each ignition cycle), Sport, or Snow/Ice♦ mode.
See Driving and Operating in your Owner's Manual.
