Driver Shift Control (DSC) Your automatic transmission has a Driver Shift Control (DSC) feature that allows you to change gears similar to a manual transmission. To use the DCS feature: 1. Slide the shift lever over from AUTOMATIC OVERDRIVE (D) to the right DSC area. When the transmission is in DSC mode the sport mode light in the instrument panel cluster will come on. Also the odometer on the instrument panel cluster will change to show gear range. While using the DSC feature the vehicle will have firmer shifting and increased performance. You can use this for sport driving or when climbing hills to stay in gear longer or to down shift for more power. The transmission will only allow you to shift into gears appropriate for the vehicle speed and rpm. The transmission will not automatically shift to the next higher gear if the engine rpm is too high. 2. Press the shift lever forward to upshift or rearward to downshift. 2-28
