Skip Shift (CTS-V) 1r4: This message may appear in the message center in the speedometer during light throttle, low speed maneuvers (15 to 19 mph (24 to 31 km/h)). When this message appears, you can only shift from FIRST (1) to FOURTH (4) instead of FIRST (1) to SECOND (2). See One-to-Four Shift Message (CTS-V Only) on page 217 for more information. During the shift from FIRST (1) to FOURTH (4), pull the shift lever straight back using light force on the shift lever. You must complete the shift into FOURTH (4) to turn off this feature. This helps get the best possible fuel economy. The skip shift feature is turned backed on when the vehicle is at a complete stop and the digital speedometer reads 0 mph (0 km/h). Notice: Forcing the shift lever into any gear except FOURTH (4), when the One - to - Four Shift message comes on, may damage the transmission. Shift only from FIRST (1) to FOURTH (4) when the One - to - Four Shift message comes on. This message comes on when: • The engine coolant temperature is higher than 169°F (76°C) and you are going 15 to 19 mph (24 to 31 km/h). • You are pressing the accelerator pedal less then a quarter of the way down. Parking Brake The parking brake pedal is located on the lower portion of the instrument panel to the left of the steering wheel. To set the parking brake, hold the regular brake pedal down with your right foot and push the parking brake pedal down with your left foot. 124
