HIGH-PERFORMANCE DRIVING FEATURES
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION PERFORMANCE
Paddle Shifting
F
To temporarily take control of gear
selection while in Drive (D), use either
paddle on the back of the steering
wheel. Automatic shifting returns after
7 seconds of cruising at a steady speed
without any manual shifts, or when the
vehicle stops.
To use Manual Mode, move the shift
lever to the left from Drive (D) into the
gate marked +/– and use the paddles to
manually upshift or downshift the transmission. If the current vehicle speed is too
fast or too slow for the requested gear, the shift will not occur.
Pull the right paddle to upshift and the left paddle to downshift. The current gear will
be displayed on the instrument cluster or HUD
Performance Shifting
While driving in Sport Mode or Track Mode (V8 models), the transmission may hold the
current gear during high cornering loads. When braking, the transmission will downshift
to keep up engine speed for exiting the corner. When driving at a steady speed, the
transmission will upshift to the appropriate gear.
Powertrain Braking
With the shift lever in Drive (D) when driving on steep grades where frequent braking is
required, the transmission may downshift to help hold vehicle speed and reduce brake
wear. Continuing to apply the brake pedal will cause the transmission to downshift until
3rd gear is reached. When the road levels out and the accelerator pedal is applied, the
transmission will upshift to the appropriate gear.
MANUAL TRANSMISSION SHIFTING (V8 MODELS ONLY
1-to-4 Shift
The 1st to 4th shift feature helps achieve the best possible fuel economy. The 1-to-4
shift message will display on the instrument cluster when, from a stop, acceleration and
vehicle qualifications are met. When the shift message is displayed, the transmission
can be shifted only from 1st to 4th gear. Forcing the shift lever into any other gear may
damage the transmission.
Active Rev Match
Active Rev Match aids in smoother shifting by matching engine speed to the next
selected gear.
Pull either REV MATCH paddle on the back of the steering wheel to activate or
deactivate the system. When active, the current gear is displayed in amber on the
instrument cluster.
