Cadillac 2007 Escalade EXT 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 243 and DIC Operation and
Displays on page 243 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 135 for more information.
While using the DSC, cruise control and the
tow/haul mode can be used.
