Skip Shift (CTS-V)
1
r
4: This message may appear in the message
center in the speedometer during light throttle, low
speed maneuvers (15 to 19 mph (24 to 31 km/h)).
When this message appears, you can only shift
from FIRST (1) to FOURTH (4) instead of
FIRST (1) to SECOND (2).
See One-to-Four Shift Message (CTS-V Only) on
page 217 for more information.
During the shift from FIRST (1) to FOURTH (4),
pull the shift lever straight back using light force on
the shift lever. You must complete the shift into
FOURTH (4) to turn off this feature. This helps get
the best possible fuel economy. The skip shift
feature is turned backed on when the vehicle is at
a complete stop and the digital speedometer
reads 0 mph (0 km/h).
Notice: Forcing the shift lever into
any gear except FOURTH (4), when the
One – to – Four Shift message comes on,
may damage the transmission. Shift only
from FIRST (1) to FOURTH (4) when the
One – to – Four Shift message comes on.
This message comes on when:
•
The engine coolant temperature is higher than
169°F (76°C) and you are going 15 to 19 mph
(24 to 31 km/h).
•
You are pressing the accelerator pedal less
then a quarter of the way down.

is located on the lower
portion of the instrument
panel to the left of the
steering wheel.
To set the parking brake, hold the regular brake
pedal down with your right foot and push the
parking brake pedal down with your left foot.
