Steering Wheel Tap Shift♦­StabiliTrak®/Traction Control Systems
The 6-speed automatic transmission has a Tap Shift mode that allows you to shift gears similar to a manual transmission.
Using Tap Shift
1. While in Drive (D), use either paddle behind the steering wheel to temporarily take control of gear selection.
2. Pull the right paddle to upshift or the left paddle to downshift.
If current vehicle speed is too high or too low for the requested gear, the shift will not occur. When coming to a stop, the transmis-sion will automatically shift to 1st gear.
The automatic transmission also can be manually controlled by moving the shift lever to the left gate; tap the lever forward to upshift and rearward to downshift.

See Driving and Operating in your Owner Manual.
Tire Pressure Monitor
The Low Tire Pressure warning light on the instrument cluster illuminates when one or more of the vehicle’s tires is
significantly underinflated. Fill the tires to the proper tire
pressures. The proper tire pressures for the vehicle are listed on the Tire and Loading Information label, located below the driver’s door latch. Current tire pressures can be viewed in the Driver Information Center.
Tire pressure is affected by cold weather and distance driven. If the low tire pressure warning light illuminates when the vehicle is first started in cooler temperatures and then turns off as the vehicle is driven, check for the proper tire pressures.
Refer to your Owner Manual for additional information about normal monthly tire maintenance.
Tire Sealant and Compressor Kit♦
The tire sealant and compressor kit can be used to temporarily seal small punctures in the tread area of the tire. The kit is locat-ed under the trunk floor. Refer to the kit instructions for complete operating information.
See Vehicle Care in your Owner Manual.
Engine Oil Life System
The Engine Oil Life System calculates oil life based on vehicle use and displays Change Engine Oil Soon on the Driver Information Center when it’s necessary to change the oil and filter. Reset the system to 100% only following an oil change.
