•The transmission will launch (from a stop) in second
gear.
• The torque converter clutch may engage at lower
engine speeds and remain on longer.
• The engine idle speed will be lower.
• The overall driving performance will be more conser-
vative.
• Some ECO mode functions may be temporarily inhib-
ited based on temperature and other factors.
NOTE: ECO mode is only available in AUTO mode.
Active Noise Cancellation
Your vehicle is equipped with an Active Noise Cancella-
tion System, this system is designed to address the
change in exhaust noise whenever the vehicle is operat-
ing in Fuel Economy Mode (ECO) or 4 cylinder mode. This system relies on four microphones embedded in the
headliner to detect the exhaust drone and prompt an
onboard frequency generator to create counteracting
sound waves through the audio system’s speakers and
sub-woofer. This helps keep the vehicle quiet at highway
speeds.
Eight–Speed Automatic Transmission
The transmission gear range (PRNDM) is displayed both
besides the gear selector bezel and in the Driver Infor-
mation Display (DID). To select a gear range, press the
lock button on the gear selector and move the lever
rearward or forward. To shift the transmission out of
PARK, the engine must be running and the brake pedal
must be pressed. You must also press the brake pedal to
shift from NEUTRAL into DRIVE or REVERSE when the
vehicle is stopped or moving at low speeds (refer to
“Brake/Transmission Shift Interlock System” in this sec-
tion). Select the DRIVE range for normal driving.5

the brake while stopped on an incline, HSA will continue
to hold the brake pressure for a short period. If the driver
does not apply the throttle before this time expires, the
system will release brake pressure and the vehicle will
roll down the hill as normal.
The following conditions must be met in order for HSA to
activate:
•The feature must be enabled.
• The vehicle must be stopped.
• Park brake must be off.
• Driver door must be closed.
• The vehicle must be on a sufficient grade.
• The gear selection must match vehicle uphill direction
(i.e., vehicle facing uphill is in forward gear; vehicle
backing uphill is in REVERSE gear). •
HSA will work in REVERSE gear and all forward
gears. The system will not activate if the transmission
is in PARK or NEUTRAL. For vehicles equipped with
a manual transmission, if the clutch is pressed, HSA
will remain active.
WARNING!
There may be situations where the Hill Start Assist
(HSA) will not activate and slight rolling may occur,
such as on minor hills or with a loaded vehicle, or
while pulling a trailer. HSA is not a substitute for
active driving involvement. It is always the driver ’s
responsibility to be attentive to distance to other
vehicles, people, and objects, and most importantly
brake operation to ensure safe operation of the ve-
hicle under all road conditions. Your complete atten-
tion is always required while driving to maintain
