AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
Driver Shift Control is a manual mode that allows the driver to manually select the range of gears. This feature can be used to drive the vehicle in a sportier manner or to downshift when driving on a downhill grade to provide engine braking.
1. Move the shift lever to the Manual (M) position.
2. Press the + (plus) or – (minus) button on the side of the shift lever to upshift or downshift. The current gear will be dis-played on the Driver Information Center.
If vehicle speed is too high or too low for the requested gear, the shift will not occur.
TRACTION CONTROL AND STABILITRAK® SYSTEMS
The traction control system limits wheel-spin and the StabiliTrak stability control system assists with directional control of the vehicle in difficult driving 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 of the instrument panel to turn traction control off or on. The Traction Control Off light will illuminate on the instrument cluster when the system is off.
