L (Low)
• Provides maximum engine braking
• Will downshift to the lowest available gear for the current vehicle
speed; allows for first gear when vehicle reaches lower speeds
• Is not intended for use under extended or normal driving conditions
and results in lower fuel economy.
S (Sport)
Moving the gearshift lever to S (Sport):
• Provides additional grade (engine) braking and extends lower gear
operation to enhance performance for uphill climbs, hilly terrain or
mountainous areas. This will increase engine RPM during engine
braking.
• Provides additional lower gear operation through the automatic
transmission shift strategy which reacts to vehicle inputs (vehicle
acceleration, accelerator pedal, brake pedal and vehicle speed).
• Gears are selected more quickly and at higher engine speeds.
SelectShift Automatic™ Transmission (if equipped)
Your SelectShift automatic transmission gives you the ability to manually
change gears if you'd like. To use SelectShift, move the gearshift lever
into S (Sport). Now you can use the paddles on your steering wheel to
manually select gears.
