The PowerShift™ 6-speed, dual-clutchautomatic transmission is designed to offerdrivers both enhanced fuel efficiency andfun to drive performance. Thistransmission’s dual-clutch technology useselectronically shifted clutches to operatetwo separate transmissions all in a smalllightweight package.
Since the clutch and gear operation isderived from a manual transmission, thePowerShift automatic transmission willdrive, sound, and feel similar to manualtransmission minus the requireduser-inputs. For example, the transmissionmay exhibit mechanical noises, firm gearshifts and/or light clutch vibrations whenaccelerating slowly as the clutchesautomatically engage. These are allconsidered to be normal and expecteddriving characteristics.
Understanding the Positions ofYour Automatic Transmission
Putting your vehicle in gear:
1.Fully press down the brake pedal.
2.Move the gearshift lever into thedesired gear.
3.Come to a complete stop.
4.Move the gearshift lever and securelylatch it in park (P).
Park (P)
This position locks the transmission andprevents the wheels from turning.
Reverse (R)
With the gearshift lever in reverse (R), yourvehicle moves backward. Always come toa complete stop before shifting into andout of reverse (R).
Neutral (N)
With the gearshift lever in neutral (N), yourvehicle can be started and is free to roll.Hold the brake pedal down while in thisposition.
Drive (D)
Drive (D) is the normal driving position forthe best fuel economy. The overdrivefunction allows automatic upshifts anddownshifts through gears one through six.
Sport (S)
Moving the gearshift lever to sport (S):
•Provides additional grade (engine)braking and extends lower gearoperation to enhance performance foruphill climbs, hilly terrain ormountainous areas. This increasesengine RPM during engine braking.
•Provides additional lower gearoperation through the automatictransmission shift strategy.
•Gears are selected more quickly andat higher engine speeds.
SelectShift Automatic™Transmission (If Equipped)
Your vehicle is equipped with a SelectShiftAutomatic transmission gearshift lever.The SelectShift Automatic transmissiongives you the ability to change gears up ordown (without a clutch) as desired.

In order to prevent the engine from runningat too low an RPM, which may cause it tostall, SelectShift still automatically makessome downshifts if it has determined thatyou have not downshifted in time.Although SelectShift makes somedownshifts for you, it still allows you todownshift at any time as long as theSelectShift determines that damage willnot be caused to the engine fromover-revving.
Note:Engine damage may occur if youmaintain excessive engine revving withoutshifting.
SelectShift does not automatically upshift,even if the engine is approaching the RPMlimit. It must be shifted manually bypressing the + button.
If equipped with the toggle on thegearshift lever:
•Press the (+) button to upshift.
•Press the (-) button to downshift.
If equipped with steering wheelpaddles:
With your vehicle in drive (D), the paddleshifters provide temporary manual control.They allow you the ability to shift gearsquickly, without taking your hands off thesteering wheel.
You can achieve extensive manual controlby moving the gearshift lever to the sport(S) position.
•Pull the right paddle (+) to upshift.
•Pull the left paddle (–) to downshift.
The system determines when temporarymanual control is no longer in use andreturns to automatic control.
Upshift to the recommended shift speedsaccording to the following chart:
Upshifts when accelerating (recom-mended for best fuel economy)
Shift from:
15 mph (24 km/h)1 - 2
25 mph (40 km/h)2 - 3
40 mph (64 km/h)3 - 4
45 mph (72 km/h)4 - 5
50 mph (80 km/h)5 - 6
The instrument cluster displays yourcurrently selected gear.
Note:The system stays in manual controluntil you make another shift selection (forexample, drive [D]).
