Transmission

SelectShift in sport (S): • Provides a permanent manual gear selection where full control of gear selection is required. To exit SelectShift mode shift the transmission into another gear (for example, drive [D]). Upshift to the recommended shift speeds according to the following chart: Upshifts when accelerating (recommended 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. If a gear is requested but not available due to vehicle conditions (low speed, too high engine speed for requested gear selection), the current gear will flash three times. Note: At full accelerator pedal travel, the transmission automatically downshifts for maximum performance. Note: In low traction conditions, you can pull away in second gear using SelectShift. To perform this operation, select drive (D) or sport (S) mode and press the + toggle (if equipped) or pull the + paddle (if equipped) until 2 is displayed on the cluster. Your vehicle is now ready to move in 2nd gear. Brake-Shift Interlock WARNINGS Do not drive your vehicle until you verify that the brake lamps are working.

WARNINGS When doing this procedure, you need to take the transmission out of park (P) which means your vehicle can roll freely. To avoid unwanted vehicle movement, always fully apply the parking brake prior to doing this procedure. Use wheels chocks if appropriate. If the parking brake is fully released, but the brake warning lamp remains illuminated, the brakes may not be working properly. Have your vehicle checked as soon as possible. Note: For some markets this feature will be disabled. Your vehicle is equipped with a brake-shift interlock feature that prevents moving the gearshift lever from park (P) when the ignition is in the on position and the brake pedal is not pressed.
