Understanding your SelectShift Automatic™ Transmission (SST)
This vehicle may be 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 as desired. By
moving the gearshift lever from D (Drive) to M (Manual), you now have
control of selecting the gear you desire using the paddle shifters on the
steering wheel or the toggle switch on the gearshift lever.
Gearshift lever toggle switch
• To manually downshift the
transmission with the gearshift
lever in M (Manual), press – on
the gearshift lever.
• To manually upshift the
transmission with the gearshift

Paddle shifters (Sport)
The paddle shifters allow you to shift gears quickly, without taking your
hands off the steering wheel. Temporary manual control is provided when
pulling the paddles with the gearshift in the D (Drive) position. The system
will determine when temporary manual control is no longer desired and
reverts back to automatic control. Extensive manual control can be
achieved by moving the shifter to the M (Manual) position. The system will
stay in manual control until the shifter is moved out of the manual position.
• To manually downshift the
transmission, pull the – paddle.
• To manually upshift the
transmission, pull the + paddle.
