Engine Boost :Displays engine
manifold pressure relative to ambient
air pressure. It will display boost
pressure generated by the
turbocharging system.
Transmission Fluid Temperature :
If equipped, Shows the temperature of
the transmission fluid in either
degrees Celsius (°C) or degrees
Fahrenheit (°F).
Info Page Options : Scroll to choose
which info pages appear on the DIC.
Press the thumbwheel to select or
deselect.
Blank Page : Allows for no
information to be displayed in the
cluster info display areas.
Driver Information Center
(DIC) (Uplevel)
The DIC is displayed in the
instrument cluster. It shows the status
of many vehicle systems.
DIC information is broken down into
two main zones: Left Zone :
Displays on the
instrument cluster to the left of the
speedometer.
Right Zone : Displays on the
instrument cluster to the right of the
speedometer.
SorT: Press to move left or right
between the interactive display zones
in the cluster. Press the thumbwheel
to select.
yorz: Use the thumbwheel to
scroll up or down in a list. Press the
thumbwheel to select.
DIC Info Tiles Selection
The following is the list of all possible
DIC Info Tiles. Depending on the
vehicle, some may not be available.
Left Zone
Battery Voltage : Displays the current
battery voltage. The battery voltage
can fluctuate while viewing this
information on the DIC. This is
normal.
Coolant Temperature : Displays the
coolant temperature in either degrees
Celsius (°C) or degrees Fahrenheit (°F).
eLSD : Displays the amount of rear
differential coupling when the
Electronic Limited-Slip Differential
(eLSD) is active and functioning
during vehicle operation. A reading of
1% is an open differential and 100% is
locked. It is normal for the value to
make small or large changes due to
driving conditions and driver inputs.
For the V-Series Blackwing models,
the eLSD maintains some coupling
even if the vehicle is stationary or not
accelerating. Coupling values of 3%
and up are typical. See Limited-Slip
Differential 0267.

254 DRIVING AND OPERATING
engine speed will be increased and
decreased to match vehicle road speed
and transmission gear position. ARM
is maintained while the clutch pedal is
pressed, but will deactivate if the shift
lever is left in the Neutral position.
The system is activated and
deactivated by pressing the ARM
switch on the center console. The
system must be activated with each
new ignition cycle. If ARM is
deactivated, the system will still
perform rev matching for upshifts.
A gear indicator in the instrument
cluster displays the current gear
selected. ARM is also shown in the
Performance View of the HUD:
.When ARM is activated, the gear
number is amber.
.When ARM is deactivated, the gear
number is white.
.If no gear number is displayed while
the shift lever is in gear, service is
required. All rev matching will be
disabled, and the malfunction
indicator lamp will be on. See
Malfunction Indicator Lamp (Check
Engine Light)0106. The clutch and
manual transmission will continue
to operate normally.
ARM will also:
.Be active above 28 km/h (18 mph).
.Match engine speed up to
5400 rpm.
.Not operate when the accelerator
pedal is applied.
.Be disabled when the coolant
temperature is below 0 °C (32 °F).
Drive Systems
All-Wheel Drive
Vehicles with this feature always send
engine power to all four wheels. It is
fully automatic, and adjusts itself as
needed for road conditions.
Brakes
Electric Brake Boost
Vehicles equipped with electric brake
boost have hydraulic brake circuits
that are electronically controlled when
the brake pedal is applied during
normal operation. The system
performs routine tests and turns off
within a few minutes after the vehicle
is turned off. Noise may be heard
during this time. If the brake pedal is
pressed during the tests or when the
electric brake boost system is off, a
noticeable change in pedal force and
travel may be felt. This is normal.

322 DRIVING AND OPERATING
necessary to go much farther beyond
the passed vehicle before returning to
the lane. Pass on level roadways.
Avoid passing on hills if possible.
Backing Up
Hold the bottom of the steering wheel
with one hand. To move the trailer to
the left, move that hand to the left. To
move the trailer to the right, move
that hand to the right. Always back up
slowly and, if possible, have someone
guide you.
Making TurnsCaution
Turn more slowly and make wider
arcs when towing a trailer to
prevent damage to your vehicle.
Making very sharp turns could
cause the trailer to contact the
vehicle.
Make wider turns than normal when
towing, so trailer will not go over soft
shoulders, over curbs, or strike road
signs, trees, or other objects. Always
signal turns well in advance. Do not
steer or brake suddenly.
Driving on Grades
Reduce speed and shift to a lower gear
before starting down a long or steep
downhill grade. If the transmission is
not shifted down, the brakes may
overheat and result in reduced braking
efficiency.
Vehicles can tow in D (Drive). Shift
the transmission to a lower gear if the
transmission shifts too often under
heavy loads and/or hilly conditions.
When towing at higher altitudes,
engine coolant will boil at a lower
temperature than at lower altitudes.
If the engine is turned off immediately
after towing at high altitude on steep
uphill grades, the vehicle could show
signs similar to engine overheating. To
avoid this, let the engine run,
preferably on level ground, with the
transmission in P (Park) for a few
minutes before turning the engine off.
If the overheat warning comes on, see
Engine Overheating 0347.
Parking on Hills
{Warning
To prevent serious injury or death,
always park your vehicle and trailer
on a level surface when possible.
When parking your vehicle and your
trailer on a hill: 1. Press the brake pedal, but do not shift into P (Park) yet. Turn the
wheels into the curb if facing
downhill or into traffic if facing
uphill.
2. Have someone place chocks under the trailer wheels.
3. When the wheel chocks are in place, gradually release the brake
pedal to allow the chocks to absorb
the load of the trailer.
4. Reapply the brake pedal. Then apply the parking brake and shift
into P (Park).
5. Release the brake pedal.
Leaving After Parking on a Hill
1. Apply and hold the brake pedal.
.Start the engine.
