Driving and Operating
Notice:
Spinning the tyres or
holding the vehicle in one place
on a hill using only the
accelerator pedal may damage
the transmission. The repair will
not be covered by the vehicle
warranty. If you are stuck, do not
spin the tyres. When stopping on
a hill, use the brakes to hold the
vehicle in place.
Normal Mode Grade Braking
Normal Mode Grade Braking is
enabled when the vehicle is started,
but is not enabled in Range
Selection Mode. It assists in
maintaining desired vehicle speeds
when driving on downhill grades by
using the engine and transmission
to slow the vehicle. The first time
the system engages for each
ignition key cycle, a DIC message
will be displayed. See

Manual Mode
Driver Shift Control (DSC)
The vehicle has Driver Shift Control
(DSC). DSC controls the vehicle's
transmission and vehicle speed
while driving down hill or towing a
trailer by allowing you to select a
desired range of gears.
To use this feature, do the following:
1. Move the shift lever to M
(Manual Mode).
2. Press the plus/minus buttons, to
upshift or downshift selecting the
desired range of gears for
current driving conditions.
The DIC display will show the
message MANUAL SHIFT on the
first line and the current gear will be
displayed on the second line. The
number displayed in the DIC is the
highest gear that can be used.
However, the vehicle can
automatically shift to lower gears as
it adjusts to driving conditions. This
means that all gears below that
number are available. When
5 (Fifth) is selected, 1 (First) through
5 (Fifth) gears are automatically
shifted by the vehicle, but 6 (Sixth)
cannot be used until the plus/minus
button located on the steering
column lever is used to change to
the gear.
Grade Braking is not available when
the Driver Shift Control is active.
