Understanding your SelectShift Automatic™ transmission (SST)
gearshift lever
This vehicle is equipped with a
SelectShift Automatic™
transmission (SST) gearshift lever.
SST is an automatic transmission
with the ability for the driver to
change gears up or down (without a
clutch) as desired. By moving the
gearshift lever from drive position
(D) to the right into Manual (M)
you now have control of selecting
the gear you desire.
Initially when moving the lever to the manual mode (M), the message
center will display the current selected gear you are in and the SST light
will illuminate. Only by moving the lever in the forward (-) or backward
(+) position will the transmission utilize the manual mode for select
shifting.
