Driver Shift Control
Driver Shift Control allows you to shift gears similar to a manual transmission.
Move the shift lever to the Manual (M) position (A), left of the Drive position; tap the lever forward to upshift and rearward to downshift. The current gear selection is shown in the DIC.
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 transmission will automatically downshift.
Fuel Economy (ECO) Control
The ECO mode can improve the vehicle’s fuel economy by changing the transmission shift points and making other fuel-saving adjustments. Driving performance is more conservative when the ECO mode is active.
Press the ECO button (B) to turn the ECO mode on or off. The ECO light illuminates on the instrument cluster when active.
See Driving and Operating in your Owner Manual.
Electric Parking Brake
To apply the parking brake, pull up the Parking Brake switch (C).
To release the parking brake, turn on the ignition, press the brake pedal, and then press the switch.
See Driving and Operating in your Owner Manual.
The traction control system limits wheel-spin and the StabiliTrak stability control system assists with directional control of the vehicle in difficult driving conditions. Both systems turn on automatically every time the vehicle is started.
Turning Off Traction Control
Turn off traction control if the vehicle is stuck and rocking the vehicle is required.
Press the Traction Control/StabiliTrak button (D) on the center console. The Traction Control Off light on the instrument cluster will illuminate.
Press the button again to turn on traction control.
See Driving and Operating in your Owner Manual.
Ultrasonic sensors in the front and rear bumpers help you avoid colliding with objects when parking. Detected objects are indicated by audible beeps or Safety Alert Seat♦ pulses, which become more frequent as the vehicle gets closer to an object.
Press the Parking Assist button (E) to turn the system on/off. The button illuminates when the system is on.
Note: The system operates only at speeds less than 5 mph. Keep the sensors clean of dirt and snow for proper operation.
