6-SPEED AUTOMATIC

TRANSMISSION CONTROLS

The 6-speed automatic transmission

has a unique gear range selection

mode called Driver Shift Control that

enables the driver to select the range

of gears desired for the current

driving conditions, such as when

driving on downhill grades.

To use this feature, move the shift

lever to the Manual (M) position and

select a lower or higher driving gear

using the +/– button on the shift

lever. The display on the instrument

panel cluster will show the current

gear selection.

Press the – (minus) side of the

button to downshift. When slowing

to a stop, the vehicle will

automatically downshift.

Press the + (plus) side of the button

to upshift. As vehicle speed

increases, you will need to

manually upshift.

If current vehicle speed is too high

or too low for the requested gear,

the shift will not occur.

STABILITRAK

®

– STABILITY

CONTROL SYSTEM

StabiliTrak is an advanced computer-

controlled vehicle stability and

traction enhancement system that

assists with directional control of the

vehicle in difficult driving conditions.

It turns on automatically every time

you start your vehicle.

To limit wheelspin and help maintain

directional control, you should

always leave the system on. If your

vehicle becomes stuck and rocking

the vehicle is required, the system

should be turned off.

Press the (StabiliTrak) button,

located on the right side of the

audio system, to turn off the

traction control part of the system.

Press and hold the button for five

seconds to turn off the traction

control and stability enhancement

systems. When the system is turned

off, the StabiliTrak indicator light

will illuminate in the instrument

panel cluster.

Press the button again to turn

the system back on.
