Shift the gearshift lever to reverse
(R) only when your vehicle is

before shifting the gearshift lever out
of reverse (R).
Shift the gearshift lever to reverse (R) to
allow your vehicle to move backward.

Grade Assist
To activate Grade Assist, press
the button on the gearshift lever.
The grade assist indicator light
will illuminate in the instrument display.
The grade assist feature:
•
Provides additional grade braking with
a combination of engine motoring and
high-voltage battery charging to help
maintain vehicle speed when
descending a grade.
•
As your vehicle determines the amount
of engine motoring and high-voltage
battery charging, you may notice the
engine speed increasing and/or
decreasing to help maintain your
vehicle speed while descending a
grade.
To deactivate Grade Assist, press the
button on the gearshift lever when Grade
Assist is active. The grade assist light will
deactivate.
Sport Mode (S)
Switch on sport mode by shifting the
gearshift lever to Sport (S).
Note:
In sport mode the transmission
operates as normal but gears are selected
more quickly and at higher engine speeds.
SelectShift Automatic™
Transmission
(If Equipped)
Your vehicle is equipped with a SelectShift
Automatic transmission gearshift lever.
The SelectShift Automatic transmission
gives you the ability to change gears up or
down (without a clutch) as desired.
In order to prevent the engine from running
at too low an RPM, which may cause it to
stall, SelectShift still automatically makes
some downshifts if it has determined that
you have not downshifted in time.
Although SelectShift makes some
downshifts for you, it still allows you to
downshift at any time as long as the
SelectShift determines that damage will
not be caused to the engine from
over-revving.
