Understanding your SelectShift Automatic™ Transmission
gearshift lever (SST)
This vehicle is equipped with a
SelectShift Automatic™
transmission (SST) gearshift lever.
SST is an automatic transmission
with the ability for the driver to
change gears up or down (without a
clutch) as desired. By moving the
gearshift lever from drive position
(D) to the right into Manual (M)
you now have control of selecting
the gear you desire.
Initially when moving the lever to
the manual mode (M), the message
center display on the instrument
cluster will show D and the SST
light will illuminate. This mode is
Overdrive Cancel and Grade Assist.
Only by moving the lever in the forward (-) or backward (+) position will
the transmission utilize the manual mode for select shifting.
