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
according to this following chart: Upshifts When Accelerating (Recom-
mended for Best Fuel Economy)

Performance Shift Indicator
There are LEDs at the top of the steering
wheel rim that illuminate in sequence to
indicate specific engine RPM. If you reach
the maximum engine speed, all LEDs flash
red.

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.
