PERFORMANCE & MAINTENANCE
The automatic transmission features
Driver Shift Control, which allows you to
shift gears similar to a manual transmis-
sion. When using this feature, the vehi-
cle will have firmer shifting and sportier
performance. It also can be used to
downshift when driving on downhill
grades to provide engine braking.
To use this feature, from the Drive (D)
position, move the shift lever left to the
S position.
• To upshift, tap the lever forward (+).
• To downshift, tap the lever rearward
(–).
The currently selected gear is shown on
the instrument panel cluster.
If engine speed is too high or too low for
the requested gear, the shift will not
occur. If engine speed is too low for the
current gear, the transmission will auto-
matically downshift.

Manual.
