To use this feature, do the following:

1.Move the shift lever to the MANUAL MODE (M).

2.Press the plus/minus button, to upshift or downshift selecting the desired range of gears for your current driving conditions.

When in the MANUAL MODE (M) a number will display next to the M, indicating the current gear that has been selected. The DIC display will show the message MANUAL SHIFT on the

first line and the current gear will be displayed on the second line. See Driver Information Center (DIC) on page 243 and DIC Operation and Displays on page 243 for more information.

The number displayed in the DIC is the highest gear that can be used. However, your vehicle can automatically shift to lower gears as it adjusts

to driving conditions. This means that all gears below that number are available. When FIFTH (5) is selected, FIRST (1) through FIFTH (5) gears are automatically shifted by the vehicle, but SIXTH (6) cannot be used until the plus/minus button located on the steering column lever is used to change to the gear.

The transmission will prevent a gear range until a speed that is appropriate for current driving conditions is achieved. If shifting is prevented for any reason, the current selected gear will flash multiple times in the DIC.

Grade Braking is not available when the Driver Shift Control is active. See Tow/Haul Mode on page 135 for more information.

While using the DSC, cruise control and the tow/haul mode can be used.
