The Driver Information Center (DIC) in the instrument
cluster will change from the currently displayed message
to the letter “M”, For MANUAL position, and a number
indicating the requested gear range when moving
the shift lever forward or rearward.
While using the TAP-shift
®
feature the transmission
will have firmer shifting and sportier performance.
You can use this for sport driving or when climbing
hills to stay in gear longer or to downshift for more
power or engine braking.
The transmission will only allow you to shift into gears
appropriate for the vehicle speed and engine revolutions
per minute (RPM):
• The transmission will not automatically shift to the
next higher gear if the engine RPM is too high.
• The transmission will not allow shifting to the next
lower gear if the engine RPM is too high.
SECOND (2) /THIRD (3) Gear
Start Feature
Notice: If you attempt a third gear start while
trailering or towing a heavy load, you will notice
reduced engine power. This could overheat and
damage your transmission. Do not attempt a third
gear start while trailering or towing your vehicle.
If your vehicle has the 6-speed transmission, when
accelerating your vehicle from a stop in snowy and icy
conditions, you may want to shift into SECOND (2),
or THIRD (3) gear. A higher gear, and light application
of the gas pedal, may allow you to gain more traction
on slippery surfaces.
With the TAP-shift feature, the vehicle can accelerate
from a stop in SECOND (2) or THIRD (3).
1. Move the shift lever from DRIVE (D) into the
MANUAL (M) position.
2. With the vehicle stopped, press the plus (+) paddle
forward to select SECOND (2) or THIRD (3) gear.
The vehicle will start from a stop position in
SECOND (2) or THIRD (3) gear.
3. Once the vehicle is moving select the desired
drive gear.
