Note: The transmission has a fuel-saving
Neutral shift feature. It shifts into Neutral when
the vehicle comes to a stop and the brake
pedal is applied. It shifts back to Drive when
the brake pedal is released. When stopped on
a hill, the vehicle may roll very slightly before
shifting into Drive.
The traction control system limits wheelspin and the StabiliTrak stability control system
assists with directional control of the vehicle in difficult driving conditions. Both systems
turn on automatically every time the vehicle is started.

Driver Shift Control
Driver Shift Control (DSC) 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.
1. Move the shift lever to the Manual (M)
position.
2. Tap the shift lever forward (+) to upshift
or rearward (–) to downshift. An M and
the current gear will be displayed in the
Driver Information Center.
If vehicle speed is too high or too low for
the requested gear, the shift will not occur.
When coming to a stop, the transmission
will downshift automatically.
