Automatic Transmission

Manual Mode

Manual Mode allows the driver to shift 

gears manually. This feature can be used 

to drive the vehicle in a sportier manner, 

or to downshift when driving on a downhill 

grade to provide engine braking.

1.  Move the shift lever left to the  

+/– position. 

2.  Tap the shift lever forward (+) to 

upshift or rearward (–) to downshift. The 

current gear will be displayed on the 

Driver Information Center.

If vehicle speed is too high or too low for 

the requested gear, the shift will not occur. 

When coming to a stop, the transmission 

will downshift automatically.

See Driving and Operating in your Owner Manual.

Traction Control and StabiliTrak® Systems

The traction control system limits wheelspin and the StabiliTrak stability control system 

assists with directional control of the vehicle in difficult driving conditions. Both systems 

turn on automatically every time the vehicle is started.
