50 mph (80 km/h)

The instrument cluster will show the selected gear you are currently in.

In order to prevent the engine from running at too low an RPM, which
may cause it to stall, SelectShift will automatically make some downshifts
if it has determined that you have not downshifted in time. It will still
allow you to downshift at any time as long as SelectShift determines that
the engine will not be damaged from over-revving.

Note: Engine damage may occur if excessive engine revving is held
without shifting.

Automatic transmission adaptive learning

This feature is designed to increase durability and provide consistent
shift feel over the life of the vehicle. A new vehicle or transmission may
have firm and/or soft shifts. This operation is considered normal and will
not affect function or durability of the transmission. Over time, the
adaptive learning process will fully update transmission operation.
Additionally, whenever the battery is disconnected or a new battery
installed, the strategy must be relearned.

Brake-shift interlock

WARNING: Do not drive your vehicle until you verify that the
brake lamps are working.

WARNING: When doing this procedure, you will be taking the
vehicle out of park which means the vehicle can roll freely. To

avoid unwanted vehicle movement, always fully set the parking brake
prior to doing this procedure. Use wheel chocks if appropriate.

WARNING: If the parking brake is fully released, but the brake
warning lamp remains illuminated, the brakes may not be working

properly. See your authorized dealer.

Use the BSI lever to move the gearshift lever from the park position in the
event of an electrical malfunction or if your vehicle has a dead battery.
