Recommended shift speeds

Upshift according to the following chart:

Upshifts when accelerating (recommended for best fuel

economy)

Shift from:

1 - 2 15 mph (24 km/h)

2 - 3 25 mph (40 km/h)

3 - 4 40 mph (64 km/h)

4 - 5 45 mph (72 km/h)

5 - 6 50 mph (80 km/h)

The message center display in the instrument cluster will show the

current selected gear you are in.

In order to prevent the engine from running at too low an RPM, which

may cause it to stall, the SST will automatically make some downshifts

even if it has determined that you have not downshifted in time. It will

still allow you to downshift at any time as long as the SST determines

that the engine will not be damaged from over-revving.

Engine damage may occur if excessive engine revving is held

without shifting.

REVERSE SENSING SYSTEM

The reverse sensing system (RSS) sounds a tone to warn the driver of

obstacles near the rear bumper when the R (Reverse) is selected and the

vehicle is moving at speeds less than 3 mph (5 km/h). The system is not

effective at speeds above 3 mph (5 km/h) and may not detect certain

angular or moving objects.

WARNING: To help avoid personal injury, please read and

understand the limitations of the reverse sensing system as

contained in this section. Reverse sensing is only an aid for some

(generally large and fixed) objects when moving in reverse on a flat

surface at “parking speeds”. Inclement weather may also affect the

function of the RSS; this may include reduced performance or a false

activation.

WARNING: To help avoid personal injury, always use caution

when in R (Reverse) and when using the RSS.
