SelectShift™ Automatic
Transmission
This feature gives you the ability to change
gears up or down as desired.
Downshifts are allowed unless the engine
speed after the shift exceeds the
maximum allowable limit.
In order to prevent engine stalls,
SelectShift automatically downshifts at
low engine speeds.
Note: Engine damage may occur if you
maintain excessive engine revving without
shifting.
SelectShift does not automatically upshift,
even if the engine is approaching the RPM
limit, unless the accelerator pedal is at full
travel.
Take notice of the shift indicator lamp,
which alerts you when to shift to make sure
you achieve the highest level of efficiency
and fuel economy.
If equipped with the toggle on the
gearshift lever, press the + toggle
switch on the side of the gearshift lever
to activate SelectShift.

SelectShift in sport (S):
Your vehicle is equipped with a brake-shift
interlock feature that prevents moving the
gearshift lever from park (P) when the
ignition is on and the brake pedal is not
pressed.
•
Provides manual gear selection without
a time out period.
To exit SelectShift mode:
•
If in drive (D), move the selector to
sport (S) and then back to drive (D). If
in sport (S), move the selector to drive

If you cannot move the transmission
selector lever out of park (P) position with
the ignition in the on position and the brake
pedal pressed, a malfunction may have
occurred. It is possible that a fuse has
blown or your vehicle’s brake lamps are
not operating properly. See Fuse
The instrument cluster displays your
current gear. If a gear is requested but not
available due to vehicle conditions (too
low or too high engine speed), the current
gear flashes three times.
Note: At full accelerator pedal travel, the
transmission may automatically downshift
for maximum performance.
Specification Chart (page 203).
If the fuse is not blown and the brake
lamps are working properly, the following
procedure will allow you to move the
gearshift lever from park (P).

avoid unwanted vehicle movement,
always fully apply the parking brake prior
to doing this procedure. Use wheels
chocks if appropriate.
WARNING: If the parking brake is
fully released, but the brake warning
lamp remains illuminated, the brakes

AutomaticTransmissionAdaptive
Learning
This feature may increase durability and
provide consistent shift feel over the life
of your vehicle. A new vehicle or
transmission may have firm shifts, soft
shifts or both. This operation is considered
normal and does not affect function or
durability of the transmission. Over time,
the adaptive learning process fully updates
transmission operation.
If Your Vehicle Gets Stuck In Mud
or Snow
Note: Do not rock your vehicle if the engine
is not at normal operating temperature or
damage to the transmission may occur.
Note: Do not rock your vehicle for more
than a minute or damage to the
transmission and tires may occur, or the
engine may overheat.
If your vehicle gets stuck in mud or snow,
it may be rocked out by shifting between
forward and reverse gears, stopping
between shifts in a steady pattern.
Press lightly on the accelerator in each
gear.
