Understanding your SelectShift
Automatic Transmission
Your vehicle is equipped with 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 to prevent the engine from running
at too low an RPM, which may cause it to
stall, SelectShift will still automatically make
some downshifts if it has determined that
you have not downshifted in time. Although
SelectShift will make some downshifts for
you, it will still allow you to downshift at any
time as long as the SelectShift determines
that damage will not be caused to the engine
from over-revving.
SelectShift will not automatically upshift, even
if the engine is approaching the RPM limit. It
must be shifted manually by pressing the +
button.

Note: Engine damage may occur if you
maintain excessive engine revving without
(If Equipped)
shifting.
The SelectShift Automatic transmission
feature has two modes: PRS and M mode.
Progressive Range Selection (PRS)
Progressive Range Selection gives you the
ability to lockout gears from the automatic
shifting range. This may provide you with an
improved driving experience (for example,
in slippery conditions or when experiencing
a steep grade).
With the gearshift lever in drive (D), press the
– button to active PRS. The available and
selected gears are indicated on the
instrument cluster.
All available gears will display with the
current gear indicated. Press the – button
again to lock out gears beginning with the
highest gear. Example: press the – button
twice to lock out 6th and 5th gears. Only the
available gears will display and the

shift automatically within the gear range you
select.

position will allow you to manually select the
gear you desire. Only the current gear will
display. Use the buttons on the gearshift
lever to manually select gears. Press the +
button to upshift or the – button to downshift.
