One to Four Shift Message
(V8 Only)
When this message comes on, the
vehicle can only be shifted from
1 (First) to 4 (Fourth) instead of
1 (First) to 2 (Second). The message
will display in the Driver Information
Center (DIC).
Complete the shift into 4 (Fourth) to
turn off this feature. This helps to
get the best possible fuel economy.
After shifting to 4 (Fourth), downshift
to a lower gear, if desired.
Caution
Forcing the shift lever into any
gear except 4 (Fourth) when the
1-4 SHIFT message comes on
may damage the transmission.
Shift only from 1 (First) to
4 (Fourth) when the message
comes on.
This message will come on when:
.
The engine coolant temperature
is higher than 76 °C (169 °F).
.
The vehicle is accelerating from
a stop and going 24 to 31 km/h
(15 to 19 mph).
.
The vehicle is at 33% throttle
or less.
Once displayed, the message will
remain in the DIC for two seconds,
even if the conditions for skip shift
are no longer satisfied.
Vehicles equipped with a Head-Up
Display (HUD) may also have
performance shift timing lights
across the top of the display.
The rows of lights get closer
together as the maximum shift point
gets closer. Shift the transmission
before the lights come together in
the display. Shift immediately if the
lights are flashing.
See
Active Rev Match
Vehicles equipped with a V8 engine
and a manual transmission have
Active Rev Match (ARM). ARM aids
in smoother shifting by matching the
engine speed to the next selected
gear. By monitoring shift lever and
clutch operation, ARM adjusts
engine speed to match a calibrated
value based on gear selection. On
upshifts and downshifts, engine
speed will be decreased and
increased to match vehicle road
speed and transmission gear
position. ARM is maintained while
the clutch pedal is pressed, but will
deactivate if the shift lever is left in
the Neutral position.
