Transmission

Sport (S) Moving the gearshift lever to sport (S): • Provides additional grade (engine) braking and extends lower gear operation to enhance performance for uphill climbs, hilly terrain or mountainous areas. This increases engine RPM during engine braking. • Provides additional lower gear operation through the automatic transmission shift strategy. • Gears are selected more quickly and at higher engine speeds. SelectShift Automatic™ Transmission Your vehicle is equippedwith a SelectShift Automatic transmission gearshift lever. The SelectShift Automatic transmission gives you the ability to change gears up or down (without a clutch) as desired. In order toprevent the engine fromrunning at too low an RPM, which may cause it to stall, SelectShift still automaticallymakes some downshifts if it has determined that you have not downshifted in time. Although SelectShift makes some downshifts for you, it still allows you to downshift at any time as long as the SelectShift determines that damage will not be caused to the engine from over-revving. Note: Engine damage may occur if you maintain excessive engine revving without shifting. SelectShift does not automatically upshift, even if the engine is approaching the RPM limit. It must be shifted manually by pressing the + button. With your vehicle in drive (D), the paddle shifters provide temporarymanual control. They allow you the ability to shift gears quickly, without taking your hands off the steering wheel.

You can achieve extensive manual control by moving the gearshift lever to the sport (S) position. • Pull the right paddle (+) to upshift. • Pull the left paddle (–) to downshift.

E144821 The system determines when temporary manual control is no longer in use and returns to automatic control. Upshift to the recommended shift speeds according to the following chart: Upshifts when accelerating (recom- mended for best fuel economy) Shift from: 15 mph (24 km/h) 1 - 2 25 mph (40 km/h) 2 - 3 40 mph (64 km/h) 3 - 4 45 mph (72 km/h) 4 - 5 50 mph (80 km/h) 5 - 6 The instrument cluster displays your currently selected gear. Note: The system stays in manual control until you make another shift selection (for example, drive [D]).
