NAVIGATION
Sequential Shift Mode
Use the paddle shifters to change between 1st and 8th gears without removing
your hands from the steering wheel.
When the shift lever is in D: The vehicle goes into sequential shift mode
momentarily, and the gear indicator comes on. When you start driving at a
constant speed, sequential shift mode automatically switches off, and the
gear indicator goes off. Hold the (+) paddle shifter for two seconds to return to
normal drive.
When the shift lever is in S: The vehicle goes into sequential shift mode, and
the M (sequential mode) indicator and gear indicator come on. Shift gears up or
down using the paddle shifter buttons. At speeds of 2 mph (4 km/h) or less, the
vehicle automatically shifts down into 1st gear. It will not automatically shift up,
even if vehicle speed increases.
To cancel this mode, shift to D. When sequential shift mode is canceled, the M
indicator and gear indicator go off.
Second gear lock mode: If you pull the (+) paddle shifter while stopped or
driving at 6 mph (10 km/h) or less, the gear is locked in 2nd gear. This makes it
easier to pull away on slippery surfaces, such as snow-covered roads.
To cancel this mode, pull the (-) paddle shifter.

Braking
Slow down or stop your vehicle, and keep it from moving when parked.
Foot Brake
Press the brake pedal to slow down or stop your
vehicle from moving.
Brake Assist System
During hard or emergency braking, the system increases braking force. The brake
pedal may move slightly or make a noise; this is normal. Continue to hold the
brake pedal rmly down.
Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS)
During hard or emergency braking, the system rapidly pumps the brakes to
prevent wheel lockup and help you maintain steering control. The brake pedal
may pulsate slightly during ABS operation; this is normal. Do not pump the brake
pedal, and continue to hold it firmly down.
The ABS may not function correctly if you use an incorrect tire type and size.
