SPORT (S) — If Equipped

This mode alters the transmission’s automatic shift

schedule for sportier driving. Upshift speeds are in-

creased to make full use of available engine power. To

access SPORT mode, push down on the gear selector and

rotate it fully clockwise, or press the SPORT button in the

center stack.
LOW (L) — If Equipped

Use this range for engine braking when descending very

steep grades. In this range, the transmission will down-

shift for increased engine braking. To access the LOW

position, push down on the gear selector and rotate it

fully clockwise.
Sport Mode — If Equipped
Your vehicle is equipped with a Sport Mode feature. This

mode is a configuration set up for typical enthusiast

driving. The engine, transmission and steering systems

are all set to their SPORT settings. Sport Mode will

provide improved throttle response and modified shift-

ing for an enhanced driving experience, as well the

greatest amount of steering feel. This mode may be

activated and deactivated by pushing the Sport button on

the instrument panel switch bank.
Transmission Limp Home Mode
Transmission function is monitored electronically for ab-

normal conditions. If a condition is detected that could

result in transmission damage, Transmission Limp Home

Mode is activated. In this mode, the transmission may

operate only in certain gears, or may not shift at all. Vehicle

performance may be severely degraded and the engine

may stall. In some situations, the transmission may not

re-engage if the engine is turned off and restarted. The

Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) may be illuminated. A

message in the instrument cluster will inform the driver of

the more serious conditions, and indicate what actions may

be necessary.
