Transmission
Automatic Transmissio n
Driver Shift Control (DSC) or Tap
Shift
Driver Shift Control (DSC) allows
shifting an automatic transmission
similar to a manual transmission.
DSC can be enabled through the
shift lever or the Tap Shift controls,
located on the back of the steering
wheel (if equipped). See Manual
Mode on page 9‑26.
Manual Transmission
Skip Shift (CTS‐V)
Under light acceleration, the
transmission will only allow shifting
from 1 (First) to 4 (Fourth). This
helps improve fuel mileage. Under
harder acceleration, Skip Shift is
disabled, and all gears are
available. See Manual Transmission
on page 9‑29.
