M (Manual)
This vehicle may be equipped with a SelectShift Automatic™
transmission (SST) gearshift lever. SST is an automatic transmission with
the ability for the driver to change gears up or down. By moving the
gearshift lever from D (Drive) to M (Manual), you now have control of
selecting the gear you desire using the toggle switch on the gearshift
lever.
Understanding your SelectShift Automatic™ Transmission (SST)
• To manually downshift the
transmission with the gearshift
lever in M (Manual), press – on
the gearshift lever.
• To manually upshift the
transmission with the gearshift
lever in M (Manual), press + on
the gearshift lever.
Recommended shift speeds
Upshift according to the following chart:
Upshifts when accelerating (recommended for best fuel economy)
Shift from:
1 - 2 15 mph (24 km/h)
2 - 3 25 mph (40 km/h)
3 - 4 40 mph (64 km/h)
4 - 5 45 mph (72 km/h)
5 - 6 50 mph (80 km/h)
The message center display in the instrument cluster will show the
current selected gear you are in.
In order to prevent the engine from running at too low an RPM, which
may cause it to stall, the SST will automatically make some downshifts
even if it has determined that you have not downshifted in time. It will
still allow you to downshift at any time as long as the SST determines
that the engine will not be damaged from over-revving.
Engine damage may occur if excessive engine revving is held
without shifting.
