Automatic Transmission

Driver Shift Control
Driver Shift Control is a manual mode that
allows the driver to shift gears manually.
This feature can be used to drive the vehicle
in a sportier manner, or to downshift when
driving on a downhill grade to provide
engine braking.
1. Move the shift lever left to the +/–
position.
2. Tap the shift lever forward (+) to upshift
or rearward (–) to downshift. The current
gear will be displayed on the Driver Information Center.
If vehicle speed is too high or too low for the requested gear, the shift will not occur.
When coming to a stop, the transmission will downshift automatically.
