Driver Shift Control
(automatic transmission only)
The Driver Shift Control (DSC) mode
allows you to change gears similar
to a manual transmission. To use
the DSC mode:
1.
Slide the gearshift lever from
Drive (D) to the right to Manual
Mode (M).
2.
Press the gearshift lever forward
to upshift or rearward to
downshift. Activation of the
DSC mode is indicated in the
DIC. The display above the (M) in
the cluster will change to a
number indicating the requested
gear range.
When in DSC mode, if you do not
move the gearshift lever forward
or rearward to shift, the
transmission will be in sport
mode and will still
shift automatically.
The transmission
will only allow
shifting into gears
appropriate for the
vehicle speed and engine rpm.
The transmission will not
automatically shift to the next
higher gear if the rpm is too high.
TRACTION & STABILITY
Traction Control System
The traction control system is
enabled every time you start your
vehicle. When one or more of the
drive wheels begin to spin from
traction loss, the Traction Control
System will apply braking to the
spinning wheel(s) and may reduce
engine power until traction
is regained.
If your vehicle becomes stuck, and
rocking the vehicle is required, the
system should be turned off.
Press the button located on the
instrument panel to turn the
system off or back on.
