AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION PERFORMANCE
Paddle ShiftingF
To temporarily take control of gear selection while in Drive (D), use either paddle on the back of the steering wheel. Automatic shifting returns after 7 seconds of cruising at a steady speed without any manual shifts, or when the vehicle stops.
To use Manual Mode, move the shift lever to the left from Drive (D) into the gate marked +/– and use the paddles to manually upshift or downshift the transmission. If the current vehicle s\
peed is too fast or too slow for the requested gear, the shift will not occur.
Pull the right paddle to upshift and the left paddle to downshift. The c\
urrent gear will be displayed on the instrument cluster or HUDF.
Performance Shifting
While driving in Sport Mode or Track Mode (V8 models), the transmissio\
n may hold the current gear during high cornering loads. When braking, the transmission\
will downshift to keep up engine speed for exiting the corner. When driving at a steady\
speed, the transmission will upshift to the appropriate gear.
Powertrain Braking
With the shift lever in Drive (D) when driving on steep grades where f\
requent braking is required, the transmission may downshift to help hold vehicle speed and \
reduce brake wear. Continuing to apply the brake pedal will cause the transmission to\
downshift until 3rd gear is reached. When the road levels out and the accelerator pedal \
is applied, the transmission will upshift to the appropriate gear.
MANUAL TRANSMISSION SHIFTING (V8 MODELS ONLYF)
1-to-4 Shift
The 1st to 4th shift feature helps achieve the best possible fuel econom\
y. The 1-to-4 shift message will display on the instrument cluster when, from a stop, \
acceleration and vehicle qualifications are met. When the shift message is displayed, t\
he transmission can be shifted only from 1st to 4th gear. Forcing the shift lever into a\
ny other gear may
damage the transmission.
Active Rev Match
Active Rev Match aids in smoother shifting by matching engine speed to t\
he next selected gear.
Pull either REV MATCH paddle on the back of the steering wheel to activa\
te or
deactivate the system. When active, the current gear is displayed in amb\
er on the instrument cluster.
