Automatic Transmission Operation
The vehicle has a Hydra-Matic®6L80 automatic
transmission, and has an electronic shift position
indicator within the instrument panel cluster.
This display comes on when the ignition key is
turned to the ON/RUN position.
There are several different positions for the shift lever.
P (Park):This position locks the rear wheels. It is the
best position to use when starting the engine because
the vehicle cannot move easily.
When parked on a hill, especially when the vehicle has
a heavy load, you may notice an increase in the effort
to shift out of P (Park). See Torque Lock (Automatic
Transmission) underShifting Into Park on page 2-43
for more information.{CAUTION:
It is dangerous to get out of the vehicle if the shift
lever is not fully in P (Park) with the parking brake
rmly set. The vehicle can roll.
Do not leave the vehicle when the engine is
running unless you have to. If you have left the
engine running, the vehicle can move suddenly.
You or others could be injured. To be sure the
vehicle will not move, even when you are on fairly
level ground, always set the parking brake and
move the shift lever to P (Park). SeeShifting Into
Park on page 2-43. If you are pulling a trailer, see
Towing a Trailer on page 4-55.
R (Reverse):Use this gear to back up.
Notice:Shifting to R (Reverse) while the vehicle is
moving forward could damage the transmission.
The repairs would not be covered by the vehicle
warranty. Shift to R (Reverse) only after the vehicle
is stopped.
2-32

Driver Shift Control (DSC)
The vehicle has Driver Shift Control (DSC). DSC
controls the transmission and vehicle speed while driving
down hill or towing a trailer by allowing you to select
a desired range of gears.
To use this feature:
1. Move the shift lever to the M (Manual Mode).
This will force a downshift from the current gear,
for gears 3 through 6.
2. Press the (+) plus or (−) minus button on the left
side of the steering wheel, to select the desired
range of gears for current driving conditions.When in the M (Manual Mode) a number will display
next to the M, indicating the maximum available gear.
The DIC display will show the message MANUAL SHIFT
on the rst line and the maximum available gear will be
displayed on the second line. SeeDriver Information
Center (DIC) on page 3-46andDIC Operation and
Displays (Using DIC Buttons) on page 3-47orDIC
Operation and Displays (Using Trip Odometer Reset
Stem) on page 3-52for more information. The number
displayed in the DIC is the highest gear available.
The transmission will be limited to the gear selected and
lower gears. Shifting will occur normally while driving,
however the cluster will continue to display the maximum
available gear. Higher gears will not be available unless
the selection is changed to include higher gears using
the (+) plus button.
Grade Braking is not available when the Driver Shift
Control is active. SeeTow/Haul Mode on page 2-36and
Towing a Trailer on page 4-55for more information.
While using the DSC, cruise control and the tow/haul
mode can be used.

Object Detection Systems
Rear Vision Camera (RVC)
This vehicle may have a Rear Vision Camera system.
Read this entire section before using it.
{CAUTION:

replace driver vision. RVC does not:
Detect objects that are outside the camera’s
eld of view, below the bumper, or

CAUTION: (Continued)
CAUTION: (Continued)
Do not back the vehicle by only looking at the rear
vision camera screen, or use the screen during
longer, higher speed backing maneuvers or where
there could be cross-traffic. Your judged distances
using the screen will differ from actual distances.
So if you do not use proper care before backing
up, you could hit a vehicle, child, pedestrian,
bicyclist, or pet, resulting in vehicle damage,
injury, or death. Even though the vehicle has
the RVC system, always check carefully before
backing up by checking behind and around the
vehicle.
Vehicles Without Navigation System
The rear vision camera system is designed to help the
driver when backing up by displaying a view of the area
behind the vehicle. When the key is in the ON/RUN
position and the driver shifts the vehicle into R (Reverse),
the video image automatically appears on the inside rear
view mirror. Once the driver shifts out of R (Reverse),
the video image automatically disappears from the inside
rear view mirror.

according to vehicle orientation or road conditions.
The following illustration shows the eld of view that the
camera provides.
2-52

Notice:The spare tire extends farther away from
rear of the vehicle than the trailer hitch shown on rear
vision camera display. The spare tire could hit an
object even though there appears to be enough
distance on the display between the trailer hitch
and objects behind you causing vehicle or property
damage. Do not use this system to judge the distance
between the spare tire and objects behind you.
When the System Does Not Seem To
Work Properly
The rear vision camera system might not work properly
or display a clear image if:
The RVC is turned off. See “Turning the Rear
Camera System On or Off” earlier in this section.
It is dark.
The sun or the beam of headlights is shining
directly into the camera lens.
Ice, snow, mud, or anything else builds up on the
camera lens. Clean the lens, rinse it with water,
and wipe it with a soft cloth.
The back of the vehicle is in an accident, the
position and mounting angle of the camera
can change or the camera can be affected.
Be sure to have the camera and its position and
mounting angle checked at your dealer/retailer.
There are extreme temperature changes.
2-53

The rear vision camera system display in the rearview
mirror may turn off or not appear as expected due to a
