longer, or to downshift for more
power or engine braking. The
transmission will only allow you to
shift into gears appropriate for the
vehicle speed and engine
revolutions per minute (rpm). The
transmission will not automatically
shift to the next higher gear if the
engine rpm is too high. If shifting is
prevented for any reason, the
message SHIFT DENIED will
appear in the DIC, indicating that
the transmission has not shifted
gears. While in the Tap Shift Mode,
the transmission will not
automatically downshift on hard
acceleration.
When coasting to a stop in Tap Shift
Mode, the V6 transmission will
automatically downshift to 1 (First)
gear, and the V8 transmission will
automatically downshift to
2 (Second) gear. A 1 (First) gear
start can be selected using the Tap
Shift controls on V8 models. When
accelerating from a stop, the
transmissions will hold these gears
until the driver manually selects
higher gears using the Tap Shift
controls.
When accelerating the vehicle from
a stop in snowy and icy conditions,
you may want to shift into
2 (Second) gear. A higher gear ratio
allows you to gain more traction on
slippery surfaces.
Shift Indicator
The shift indicator illuminates in the
instrument cluster when a gear shift
is recommended for best fuel
economy. When the arrow is pointed
up, an upshift is recommended. The
number displayed with the arrow
indicates the recommended gear.
