AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
WARNINGS
Always fully apply the parking brake.
Make sure you shift into park (P) for
vehicles with an automatic
transmission. Switch the ignition off and
remove the key whenever you leave your
vehicle.
Do not apply the brake pedal and
accelerator pedal simultaneously.
Applying both pedals simultaneously
for more than a few seconds will limit
engine performance, which may result in
difficulty maintaining speed in traffic and
could lead to serious injury.
Note:
Under certain conditions, you may
not be able to shift out of park (P) unless
the intelligent access key is inside the
vehicle.
Understanding your SelectShift™
Automatic Transmission
Your vehicle is equipped with a SelectShift
automatic transmission gearshift lever and
steering wheel mounted shifter paddles.
The buttons on the gearshift lever and the
shifter paddles serve the same functions.
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 will make 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.
SelectShift will not automatically upshift,
even if the engine is approaching the RPM
limit. It must be shifted manually by
pressing the
+
button or paddle.
Note:
Engine damage may occur if you
maintain excessive engine revving without
shifting.
The SelectShift Automatic transmission
feature has two modes: PRS and M mode.
Manual (M)
Moving the gearshift lever to the manual
(M) position allows you to manually select
the gear you desire. Only the current gear
will display. Use the buttons on the
gearshift lever or steering wheel to
manually select gears. Press the
+
button
or paddle to upshift or the
–
button or
paddle to downshift. Return the
transmission to a different gearshift
position to deactivate manual control.
