Neutral (N)
With the selector in neutral (N), your
vehicle can be started and is free to roll.
Hold the brake pedal down when in this
position.
Stay in Neutral Mode
Stay in Neutral mode allows your vehicle
to stay in neutral when you exit your
vehicle. Your vehicle must be stationary to
enter this mode.
To enter Stay in Neutral mode:
•
With the engine running.
• Release the parking brake if applied,
press down the brake pedal and press
the parking brake release switch on the
center console.
• Press down the brake pedal and move
the transmission selector to neutral
(N).
• A message appears in your display
screen.
• Press the manual (M) button to enter
Stay in Neutral mode.
• Another message appears in your
display screen confirming Neutral
mode is engaged.
• Stay in Neutral mode remains engaged
as long as the engine is running. If the
engine is turned off, a 30 minute timer
starts and appears in your display
screen.
To exit Stay in Neutral mode, press down
the brake pedal and select a different gear.
Drive (D)
Drive (D) is the normal driving position for
the best fuel economy. In the drive (D)
position, the transmission automatically
shifts through gears one through seven. Manual (M)
To select manual (M), place the
transmission selector in drive (D) and press
"M" button in the middle of the selector.
Once you select manual (M), you must use
the paddle shifters to upshift or downshift
the transmission.
To exit manual (M) and return to drive (D),
press the "M" button again.
SelectShift™ Automatic
Transmission
Your vehicle is equipped with a SelectShift
Automatic transmission, which gives you
the ability to change gears up or down as
desired.
In order to prevent the engine from running
at too low an RPM, which may cause it to
stall, SelectShift still automatically makes
some downshifts if it has determined that
you have not downshifted in time.
Although SelectShift makes some
downshifts for you, it still allows you to
downshift at any time as long as
SelectShift determines that no damage
occurs to the engine from over-revving.
Note:
Engine damage may occur if you
maintain excessive engine revving without
shifting.
SelectShift does not automatically upshift,
even if the engine is approaching the RPM
limit. It must be shifted manually by use of
the upshift (+) paddle. When using Manual
(M) shift mode, pay attention to the shift
indicator on the top rim of the steering
wheel and the RPM indicator in the
instrument cluster.
Use the paddles on the steering wheel
to shift.
• Pull the right paddle (+) to upshift.
• Pull the left paddle (–) to downshift.

SelectShift in drive (D):
•
Provides a temporary manual mode
for performing more demanding
maneuvers where extra control of gear
selection is required (for example,
when overtaking). This mode holds a
selected gear for a temporary period
of time dependent on driver inputs (for
example, steering or accelerator pedal
input).
SelectShift in manual (M):
• Provides a permanent manual gear
selection where full control of gear
selection is required.
The instrument cluster displays your
currently selected gear. If a gear is
requested but not available due to vehicle
conditions (low speed, too high engine
speed for requested gear selection), the
current gear flashes two times.
Upshift to the recommended shift speeds

mended for Best Fuel Economy)

If the stability or traction control system
has been reduced or disabled, press the
stability and traction control button once
to return to the normal on setting.
Note:
Do not use Track or V-Max modes on
public roadways.
Note: Messages appear in the instrument
cluster when you make changes to the
AdvanceTrac system.
Note: When you start your vehicle,
AdvanceTrac turns on for all drive modes.
It does not remember the previous setting.
Stability Control Vehicle without stability control
skidding off its intended route.
A
Vehicle with stability control
maintaining control on a slippery
surface.
B If your vehicle begins to slide, the system
applies the brakes to individual wheels
and, when needed, reduces engine power
at the same time. If the wheels spin when
accelerating on slippery or loose surfaces,
the system reduces engine power in order
to increase traction.
System Indicator Lights and Messages The stability and traction control
light temporarily illuminates on
engine start-up and flashes:
• When a driving condition activates
either of the systems.
• If a problem occurs in either of the
systems. The stability and traction control
off light temporarily illuminates
on engine start-up and stays on
when you adjust the operation of the
AdvanceTrac stability control system. The
amount of change you can make to the
AdvanceTrac stability control system
depends on the drive mode you have
selected. The chart found earlier in this
section shows how much you can change
the stability control and traction control
for each drive mode.
