Cadillac 2004 SRX - Manual (Page 96)

Driver Shift Control (DSC)
Your automatic transmission has a Driver Shift
Control (DSC) feature that allows you to change gears
similar to a manual transmission. To use the DCS
feature:
1. Slide the shift lever over from AUTOMATIC
OVERDRIVE (D) to the right DSC area.
When the transmission is
in DSC mode the sport
mode light in the
instrument panel cluster
will come on.
2. Press the shift lever forward to upshift or rearward
to downshift.
Also the odometer on the instrument panel cluster will
change to show gear range.
While using the DSC feature the vehicle will have firmer
shifting and increased performance. You can use this
for sport driving or when climbing hills to stay in
gear longer or to down shift for more power.
The transmission will only allow you to shift into gears
appropriate for the vehicle speed and rpm. The
transmission will not automatically shift to the next
higher gear if the engine rpm is too high.
