Throttle Progression
Adjusts throttle sensitivity by selecting how
quickly or slowly the throttle reacts to
input.
Throttle Progression is a preset of
Powertrain and cannot be modified or
changed independently.
Transmission Shift Operation
Basic:
.Transmission upshifts and downshifts are
selected based on vehicle speed and
accelerator position to optimize comfort
and fuel economy during mild driving
conditions.
Driver Influenced Gear Selection:
.Aggressive driving will influence both the
upshift and downshift points in all modes.
When engaged, the Performance
Transmission Active light displays. See
Performance Transmission Active 093.
When Performance Transmission is
activated from a standstill, by selecting PTM Race 1 or Race 2, the transmission
shift map is in the most aggressive state
where upshifts are only achieved at high
revolutions per minute (rpm), downshifts
happen early, and the lowest gear is
selected for cornering. Transmission
behavior will transition to a level
appropriate to the current driving
behavior after a short period of time.
If PTM Race 1 or Race 2 are not selected,
the Performance Transmission Active
behavior still activates automatically after
a sustained period of performance driving
is detected. See
“Performance Traction
Management (PTM)” later on in this
section.
.Criteria which have influence are: driving
mode, accelerator, brakes, lateral, and
longitudinal loading.
.Changes in gear selection behavior due to
aggressive driving can include:
‐ Downshifting early with higher rpm’s
during aggressive braking (i.e. entering
a corner)
‐ Altering upshifts while experiencing
lateral acceleration
‐ Not upshifting when the accelerator is
released to avoid unnecessary shifts if
the accelerator is re-applied ‐
Recognizing sporty driving and
anticipating upcoming corners with the
appropriate gear selection entering and
exiting
.Driver Modes
‐Driver influenced changes are effective
in all driving modes, however the
aggressiveness of the transmission
response will increase between Tour,
Sport, and Track modes respectively.
Active Fuel Management (Engine Cylinder
Shuts Off)
If equipped with Active Fuel Management
(AFM), the engine uses driver demand to
deactivate cylinders to improve fuel
performance. When accelerating, V8 mode is
prevalent. For lighter throttle applications,
the system may disable cylinders to run in
4-cylinder mode to save fuel.
Active Fuel Management is a preset of
Powertrain and cannot be modified or
changed independently.

252 Vehicle Care
Caution
Failure to use the recommended engine
oil or equivalent can result in engine
damage not covered by the vehicle
warranty.
Viscosity Grade
Use SAE 0W-40 viscosity grade engine oil.
When selecting an oil of the appropriate
viscosity grade, it is recommended to select
an oil of the correct specification. See
“Specification” previously in this section.
Engine Oil Additives/Engine Oil Flushes
Do not add anything to the oil. The
recommended oils meeting the dexos
specification are all that is needed for good
performance and engine protection.
Engine oil system flushes are not
recommended and could cause engine
damage not covered by the vehicle
warranty.
What to Do with Used Oil
Used engine oil contains certain elements
that can be unhealthy for your skin and
could even cause cancer. Do not let used oil
stay on your skin for very long. Clean your skin and nails with soap and water, or a
good hand cleaner. Wash or properly
dispose of clothing or rags containing used
engine oil. See the manufacturer's warnings
about the use and disposal of oil products.
Used oil can be a threat to the environment.
If you change your own oil, drain all the oil
from the filter before disposal. Never dispose
of oil by putting it in the trash or pouring it
on the ground, into sewers, or into streams
or bodies of water. Recycle it by taking it to
a place that collects used oil.
Engine Oil Life System
When to Change Engine Oil
This vehicle has a computer that indicates
when to change the engine oil and filter.
This is based on a combination of factors
which include engine revolutions, engine
temperature, and miles driven. Based on
driving conditions, the mileage at which an
oil change is indicated can vary
considerably. For the oil life system to work
properly, the system must be reset every
time the oil is changed.
This vehicle has a racetrack-ready dry sump
engine lubrication system. This high
performance system operates differently
than a standard engine lubrication system
and requires a special procedure when
changing the engine oil and filter. See
Engine Oil (5.5L LT6 Engine)
0246 or
Engine Oil (6.2L LT2 Engine) 0249.
When the system has calculated that oil life
has been diminished, it indicates that an oil
change is necessary. A CHANGE ENGINE OIL
SOON message comes on. Change the oil as
soon as possible within the next 1 000 km
(600 mi). It is possible that, if driving under
the best conditions, the oil life system may
not indicate that an oil change is necessary
for up to a year. The engine oil and filter
must be changed at least once a year and,
at this time, the system must be reset. Your
dealer has trained service people who will
perform this work and reset the system.
It is also important to check the oil regularly
over the course of an oil drain interval and
keep it at the proper level.
If the system is ever reset accidentally, the
oil must be changed at 5 000 km (3,000 mi)
since the last oil change. Remember to reset
the oil life system whenever the oil is
changed.

when to change the transmission external
canister fluid filter. This is based on the
number of miles driven as outlined in the
Service and Maintenance section. For the
fluid filter life system to work properly, the
system must be reset every time the filter is
replaced. When the system has calculated
that the external canister filter is near the
mileage interval, a REPLACE TRANSMISSION
OIL FILTER SOON message comes on. Replace
the external canister filter before the
indicator reaches 0%.
Failure to replace the transmission filter at
required intervals could lead to suboptimal
transmission performance. Your dealer has
trained service technicians who will replace
the external canister filter and reset the
system. If the system is ever reset
accidentally, the filter should be replaced

Z51/Z06 Cast Iron Rotor System Brake
Burnish Procedure for Corrosion Cleanup
Corrosion spotting and grooving on the
brake rotor surface may appear after the
vehicle sits for an extended period of time,
especially in high humidity. This corrosion
may result in brake pulsation and noise. To
help restore optimal braking performance
and reduce noise, complete the following
procedure:
Caution
Performing the brake burnish procedure
on a base brake system can result in
brake damage.
Perform this procedure only on dry
pavement, in a safe manner, and in
compliance with all local and state
ordinances/laws regarding motor vehicle
operation.
Caution
The new vehicle break-in period should be
completed before performing the brake
burnishing procedure or damage may
occur to the powertrain/engine. See New
Vehicle Break-In 0177.
Caution
Brake fade can occur during this burnish
procedure and can cause brake pedal
travel and force to increase. This could
extend stopping distance until the brakes
are fully burnished.
Completing the following procedure as
instructed will not damage the brakes. The
brake pads may smoke and produce an
odor. The braking force and pedal travel
may increase. After the procedure, the brake
pads may appear white at the rotor contact. 1. Using the Friction Bubble gauge, apply the brakes 10 times starting at 100 km/h
(60 mph) to 50 km/h (30 mph) while
decelerating at 0.4g. This is a medium
brake application. Drive for at lest 0.5 km
(0.3 mi) between applying the brakes. 2. If further cleanup of the brake discs is
needed, repeat this procedure with 0.7g
applications.
As with all high performance brake systems,
some amount of brake squeal is normal.
Brake Pad Life System
(If Equipped)
When to Change Brake Pads
If equipped, this system estimates the
remaining life of the front and rear brake
pads. Brake Pad Life is displayed in the
Driver Information Center (DIC), along with
a percentage for each axle. The system must
