AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
WARNING: Always fully apply the
parking brake and make sure you shift into
park (P). Failure to follow this instruction
could result in personal injury or death. WARNING:
Do not apply the brake
pedal and accelerator pedal
simultaneously. Applying both pedals
simultaneously for more than a few
seconds will limit engine performance,
which may result in difficulty maintaining
speed in traffic and could lead to serious
injury.
Note: You cannot shift out of park (P) unless
the intelligent access key is inside your
vehicle.
Understanding Your Transmission
Selector Positions
Your vehicle has an electronic transmission
shifter. The transmission selector is on the
center stack below the touchscreen. Park.P

N
Drive.D
The instrument cluster displays the current
gear. Park (P)
With the transmission in park (P), your vehicle
locks the transmission and prevents the
wheels from turning. Always come to a
complete stop before putting your vehicle
into and out of park (P). An audible tone
sounds once you select park (P).
When you switch the ignition off, your vehicle
shifts into park (P). If you switch the ignition
off while your vehicle is moving, the
transmission first shifts into neutral (N) until
it reaches a speed less than 3 mph (5 km/h)
and then shifts into park (P).
The electric parking brake could apply when
you shift to park (P) without the brake pedal
fully pressed. The electric parking brake
applies when you shift to park (P) on large
slopes. The electric parking brake releases
with the drive away release function, or
manually as described in the Releasing the
Electric Parking Brake section.
See Electric
Parking Brake (page 258).
Note: A warning tone sounds if you open the

SelectShift Automatic ™ Transmission
Your vehicle has a SelectShift Automatic
transmission. The SelectShift Automatic
transmission gives you the ability to change
gears up or down, without a clutch, as
preferred. To prevent the engine from running at too
low an RPM, which could cause it to stall,
SelectShift still makes some downshifts if it
determines that you have not downshifted
in time. Although SelectShift makes some
downshifts for you, it still allows you to
downshift at any time if the SelectShift
determines that damage to the engine from
over-revving cannot occur.
Note:
Engine damage could occur if you
maintain excessive engine revving without
shifting.
Note: Vehicles have either steering wheel
controls or gearshift lever controls.
SelectShift could upshift if the engine is
approaching the RPM limit. It can also be
upshifted manually by pressing the (+) button.
Pull the + paddle on the steering wheel or
push the + button on the gearshift lever to
activate SelectShift.
• 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 you require extra control of gear
selection, for example, when towing or
overtaking. This mode holds a selected
gear for a temporary period of time
dependent on driver inputs, for example,
steering or accelerator pedal input.
The instrument cluster displays your currently
selected gear. If you request a gear not
available due to vehicle conditions, low
speed, too high of an engine speed for the
requested gear selection, the current gear
flashes three times.
Note: At full accelerator pedal travel, the
transmission downshifts for maximum
performance.
