Automatic Transmission
Tap Shift
Tap Shift allows the driver to
manually control the automatic
transmission. To use Tap Shift, the
shift lever must be in M (Manual
Mode) or D (Drive). Vehicles with
this feature have indicators on the
steering wheel. The controls are on
the back of the steering wheel. Tap
the left control to downshift, and the
right control to upshift. A Driver
Information Center (DIC) message
indicates the gear the vehicle is in.
Electronic Range Select
(ERS) Mode
Vehicles with axle code GW8 have
an ERS mode. ERS mode allows
you to choose the top-gear limit of
the transmission with fully automatic
gear selection. This can help control
the vehicle's speed while driving
downhill or towing a trailer. The
vehicle has an electronic shift
position indicator within the
instrument panel cluster. When
using the ERS mode a number will
display next to the M, indicating the
current maximum gear allowed.
To use this feature:
1. Move the shift lever to
M (Manual Mode).
2. Press the plus/minus buttons
located on the back of the
steering wheel, to increase or
decrease the gear range
available.
See Manual Mode on page 9 34.
