Automatic Transmission

Driver Shift Control
Driver Shift Control 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.
StabiliTrak®/Traction Control Systems
The traction control system limits wheelspin and the StabiliTrak electronic stability con-
trol system assists with directional control of the vehicle in difficult driving conditions.
Both systems turn on automatically every time the vehicle is started.
