Center (DIC) will display Electronic Key Not Detected.
SeeDIC Warnings and Messages on page 3-58for
more information.
If the battery in the keyless access transmitter needs
replacing, the DIC displays Replace Battery In Remote
Key. The vehicle can still be driven. See “Battery
Replacement” underKeyless Access System Operation
on page 2-8for more information.
Notice:Do not try to shift to P (Park) if the
vehicle is moving. If you do, you could damage
the transmission. Shift to P (Park) only when
the vehicle is stopped.Manual Transmission
The shift lever should be in neutral position and the
parking brake engaged. Hold the clutch pedal down to
the oor and start the engine. The vehicle will not start if
the clutch pedal is not all the way down.
2-33

M (Manual Mode):This position allows the driver to
select the range of gears appropriate for current driving
conditions. If the vehicle has this feature, see Driver
Shift Control (DSC) later in this section.
Notice:Spinning the tires or holding the vehicle in
one place on a hill using only the accelerator pedal
may damage the transmission. If you are stuck, do
not spin the tires. When stopping on a hill, use the
brakes to hold the vehicle in place.
Driver Shift Control (DSC)
Notice:If you drive the vehicle at high RPMs without
upshifting while using Driver Shift Control (DSC), you
could damage the vehicle. Always upshift when
necessary while using DSC.
Driver Shift Control (DSC) allows you to shift an
automatic transmission similar to a manual transmission.
To use the DSC feature:
1. Move the shift lever to the right from D (Drive) to
M (Manual Mode).
Once in M (Manual Mode), if you do not move the
shift lever forward or rearward, the vehicle will be in
sport mode. When you are in sport mode the vehicle
will still shift automatically. The transmission may
remain in a gear longer than it would in the normal
driving mode based on braking, throttle input, and
vehicle lateral acceleration.SPORT MODE will be displayed in the DIC
momentarily. The vehicle will remain in sport mode
if the shift lever is not moved. Sport mode will
shift automatically but remain in a gear longer then
it would in normal driving mode based on braking
and acceleration.
2. Press the shift lever forward to upshift or rearward
to downshift.
The tachometer display on the instrument panel cluster
will show which gear the vehicle is in. The number
indicates the requested gear range when moving the
shift lever forward or rearward. SeeSpeedometer and
Odometer on page 3-33for more information on the
odometer.
2-38

CTS-V vehicles use tracer lights around the outside of the
tachometer as a performance up-shift light. These tracers
ash to indicate when to shift to the next higher gear to
avoid the engine speed limit. SeeTachometer on
page 3-34for more information.
While using the DSC feature, the vehicle will have rmer,
quicker shifting. You can use this for sport driving or when
climbing or descending hills, to stay in gear longer, or to
down shift for more power or engine braking.
The transmission will only allow you to shift into
gears appropriate for the vehicle speed and engine
Revolutions Per Minute (RPM). The transmission will
not automatically shift to the next lower gear if the
engine RPM is too high.
If shifting is prevented for any reason, the currently
selected gear will ash multiple times, indicating that
the transmission has not shifted gears.
While in the DSC mode, the CTS automatic transmission
will automatically downshift when the vehicle comes
to a stop. This will allow for more power during take-off.
The CTS-V automatic transmission will not automatically
downshift on hard acceleration when in DSC mode.
When accelerating your vehicle from a stop in snowy and
icy conditions, you may want to shift into second gear.
A higher gear ratio allows you to gain more traction on
slippery surfaces.Tap Shift
To use Tap Shift, the shift lever must be in Manual
Mode. Vehicles with this feature have switches on the
back of the steering wheel. Tap the left switch to
downshift, and the right switch to upshift.
The tachometer display on the instrument panel cluster
will show which gear the vehicle is in and a number
indicating the requested gear range when moving the
shift lever forward or rearward. SeeSpeedometer and
Odometer on page 3-33for more information on the
odometer.
2-39

EPB Apply
The EPB can be applied any time the vehicle is stopped.
The EPB is applied by momentarily lifting up on the EPB
switch. Once fully applied, the BRAKE light will be on,
and the DIC message “Park Brake Set” will be displayed.
If the light does not come on, or is ashing, you need to
have the vehicle serviced. Do not drive the vehicle if
the BRAKE light is ashing. See your dealer/retailer.
SeeBrake System Warning Light on page 3-39for more
information.
If the EPB is applied while the vehicle is in motion,
a chime will sound, and the DIC message “Release
Park Brake Switch” will be displayed. The vehicle
will decelerate as long as the switch is held in the
up position. Releasing the EPB switch during the
deceleration will release the parking brake. If the
switch is held in the up position until the vehicle
comes to a stop, the EPB will remain applied.
If the BRAKE light is on, either the EPB is applied, or
there is a failure in the hydraulic brake system.If this light is ashing, the EPB is only partially applied
or released, or there is a problem with the EPB.
The DIC message “Service Park Brake” will be
displayed. If this light is ashing, release the EPB, and
attempt to apply it again. If this light continues to
ash, do not drive the vehicle. See your dealer/retailer.
If the
Ylight is on, the EPB has detected an error
in another system and is operating with reduced
functionality. To apply the EPB when this light is on, lift up
on the EPB switch and hold it in the up position. Full
application of the parking brake by the EPB system may
take a longer period of time than normal when this light is
on. Continue to hold the switch until the BRAKE light
remains on. If the
Ylight is on, see your dealer/retailer.
If the EPB fails to apply, the rear wheels should be
blocked to prevent vehicle movement.
