SelectShift in drive (D):
Provides a temporary manual mode for
performing more demanding maneuvers
where extra control of gear selection is
required (for example, when towing or
overtaking). This mode will hold a
selected gear for a temporary period of
time dependent on driver inputs (for
example, steering or accelerator pedal
input).
SelectShift in sport (S):
Provides a permanent manual gear
selection where full control of gear
selection is required.
To exit Selectshift mode, shift the
transmission into drive (D).
The instrument cluster displays your currently
selected gear. If a gear is requested but not
available due to vehicle conditions (low
speed, too high engine speed for requested
gear selection), the current gear will flash
three times.
Note: At full accelerator pedal travel the
transmission will auto downshift to ensure
maximum performance.
Brake-Shift Interlock Override
WARNINGS
Do not drive your vehicle until you
verify that the brake lamps are working.
When doing this procedure, you need
to take the transmission out of park (P)
which means your vehicle can roll freely. To
avoid unwanted vehicle movement, always
fully set the parking brake prior to doing this
procedure. Use wheels chocks if appropriate.
If the parking brake is fully released,
but the brake warning lamp remains
illuminated, the brakes may not be working
properly. Have your vehicle checked as soon
as possible.
Note: See your authorized dealer as soon
as possible if this procedure is used.
Note: For some markets this feature is not
available.
Note: This feature only operates if your
12-volt battery has power. If the vehicle
battery voltage is not sufficient, use an
external 12 volt power source (for example,
jumper cables, a battery charger or jump
pack) to operate interlock override switch.
Use the brake-shift interlock override to
move your transmission from the park
position in the event of an electrical
malfunction. If your vehicle has a dead
battery, you need to use an external power
source.
1. Apply the parking brake and turn your
ignition off before performing this
procedure.
