Automatic Transmission
StabiliTrak®/Traction Control Systems
The traction control system limits wheelspin and the StabiliTrak electronic stability con-trol system assists with directional control of the vehicle in difficult driving conditions. Both
systems turn on automatically every time the vehicle is started.
Driver Shift Control
Driver Shift Control 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.
Move the shift lever to the left of the Drive (D) position. Tap the shift lever forward (+) to upshift or rearward to downshift (–). The currently selected gear will be displayed on the instru-ment cluster.
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 automatically downshift.
See Driving and Operating in your Owner Manual.
Turning Off Traction Control
Turn off traction control if the vehicle is stuck and rocking the vehicle is required.
Press the StabiliTrak/Traction Control button on the top center of the instrument panel to turn the system on/off. The Traction Control Off light will illuminate on the instrument cluster when the system is off.
See Driving and Operating in your Owner Manual.
Electric Parking Brake
To apply the parking brake, pull up the Parking Brake switch by the shift lever.
To release the parking brake, turn on the ignition, press the brake pedal and press down the Parking Brake switch.
