Moving the gearshift lever to S (Sport):
Provides additional grade (engine) braking and extends lower gear
operation to enhance performance for uphill climbs, hilly terrain or
mountainous areas. This will increase engine RPM during engine
braking.
Provides additional lower gear operation through the automatic
transmission shift strategy which reacts to vehicle inputs (vehicle
acceleration, accelerator pedal, brake pedal and vehicle speed).
Gears are selected more quickly and at higher engine speeds.
SelectShift Automatic® Transmission
Note: Your transmission must be in S (Sport) for SelectShift to operate
properly.
Your SelectShift Automatic transmission gives you the ability to change
gears manually. To use SelectShift, move the gearshift lever into S
(Sport). Now you can use the paddles on your steering wheel to
manually select gears.
Paddle Shifters
With your vehicle in D (Drive), the paddle shifters provide temporary
manual control. They allow you the ability to shift gears quickly without
taking your hands off the steering wheel.
You can achieve extensive manual control by moving the gearshift lever
into S (Sport).
