AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
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.
TIRES
Tire Pressure Monitor
Low Tire Pressure warning light on the instrument cluster illuminates when one
The
or more of the vehicle's tires is significantly underinflated. Fill the tires to the proper tire
pressures. The proper tire pressures for the vehicle are listed on the Tire and Loading
Information label, located below the driver's door latch. Current tire pressures can be
viewed in the Driver Information Center.
Tire pressure is affected by cold weather and distance driven. If the low tire pressure
warning light illuminates when the vehicle is first started in cooler temperatures and then
turns off as the vehicle is driven, check for the proper tire pressures.
Refer to your Owner Manual for additional information about normal monthly tire maintenance.

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.
