Sport Mode (S)
Switch on sport mode by shifting the
transmission selector lever to sport (S). In
sport mode the transmission selects the
optimum gear for best performance. This
gear selection is typically lower than that
of drive (D) and the shifts are faster.
Tow Mode
E246592
To switch on tow mode, press
the button on the center console
until tow mode is active. The
indicator light illuminates in the instrument
cluster when the system becomes active.
The tow mode feature:
Moves upshifts to higher engine speeds
to reduce the frequency of
transmission shifting.
Provides engine braking in all forward
gears, which slows your vehicle and
assists you in controlling your vehicle
when descending a slope.
Depending on driving conditions and
load conditions, may downshift the
transmission, slow your vehicle and
control your vehicle speed when
descending a hill, without pressing the
accelerator pedal. The amount of
downshift braking provided varies
based upon the amount you press the
brake pedal.
The tow mode feature improves
transmission operation when towing a
trailer or a heavy load. All transmission
gear ranges are available when using tow
mode.
To switch off the tow mode feature and
return to normal driving mode, press the
button on the center console twice. The
indicator light turns off when the system
turns off. Tow mode also turns off when
you power down your vehicle.
SelectShift Automatic
Transmission
This feature gives you the ability to change
gears up or down as desired.
As long as the engine speed does not
exceed the maximum allowable limit,
downshifts are allowed. SelectShift
automatically downshifts at low engine
speeds in order to prevent engine stalls.
Note: Engine damage may occur if you
maintain excessive engine revving without
shifting.
SelectShift does not automatically upshift,
even if the engine is approaching the RPM
limit.
For 10 speed transmissions - with the
transmission selector lever in sport (S)
position:
Press the (+) button on the
transmission selector lever to upshift.
Press the (-) button on the
transmission selector lever to
downshift.
E269656
To exit SelectShift mode, return the
transmission selector lever to drive (D).
When your vehicle is stationary, only the
1st and 2nd gears can be selected. Manual
shifting is sequential, therefore gears
cannot be skipped.
