Cadillac 2007 Automobile User Manual


 
To use this feature, do the following:
1. Move the shift lever to the MANUAL MODE (M).
2. Press the plus/minus button, to upshift or
downshift selecting the desired range of
gears for your current driving conditions.
When in the MANUAL MODE (M) a number will
display next to the M, indicating the current gear
that has been selected. The DIC display will show
the message MANUAL SHIFT on the first line and
the current gear will be displayed on the second
line. See Driver Information Center (DIC) on
page 239 and DIC Operation and Displays on
page 240 for more information. The number
displayed in the DIC is the highest gear that can be
used. However, your vehicle can automatically shift
to lower gears as it adjusts to driving conditions.
This means that all gears below that number are
available. When FIFTH (5) is selected, FIRST (1)
through FIFTH (5) gears are automatically shifted
by the vehicle, but SIXTH (6) cannot be used until
the plus/minus button located on the steering
column lever is used to change to the gear.
The transmission will prevent a gear range until a
speed that is appropriate for current driving
conditions is achieved. If shifting is prevented for
any reason, the current selected gear will flash
multiple times in the DIC.
Grade Braking is not available when the Driver Shift
Control is active. See Tow/Haul Mode on page 148
for more information.
While using the DSC, cruise control and the
tow/haul mode can be used.
