PERFORMANCE & MAINTENANCE
Sport Shift Mode and
Driver Shift Control
The automatic
transmission
features a
performance
Sport shift
mode and a
manually
shifted Driver
Shift Control
(DSC) mode.
Sport Shift Mode
In the Sport shift mode, the transmission
will delay upshifts and allow earlier
downshifts to enhance performance.
• To activate Sport shift mode, move
the shift lever to the right of the Drive
(D) position. Do not move the shift
lever up or down to the + or – posi-
tion; otherwise, Driver Shift Control
will be enabled.
The current gear is shown in the Driver
Information Center while the transmis-
sion is in the Sport shift mode.
Driver Shift Control
DSC allows the driver to shift gears
similar to a manual transmission. When
using this feature, the vehicle can be
driven in a sportier manner. DSC also
can be used to downshift when driving
on a downhill grade to provide engine
braking.
To enable DSC, move the shift lever to
the right of the Drive (D) position.
• To upshift, tap the lever forward (+).
• To downshift, tap the lever
rearward (–).
