Driver Shift Control (DSC)
Your vehicle has a Driver Shift Control (DSC). The DSC
controls the vehicle’s transmission and vehicle speed
while driving down hill or towing a trailer by allowing you
to select a desired range of gears.
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.
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 3-48 and DIC Operation and
Displays on page 3-49 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.
Grade Braking is not available when the Driver Shift
Control is active. See Tow/Haul Mode on page 2-34 for
more information.
While using the DSC, cruise control and the tow/haul
mode can be used.
