High-Performance Driving Features
F Optional equipment

13
Refer to your Owner Manual for important information about using the high-performance driving
features.
Automatic Transmission Performance
Paddle Shifting
While in Drive (D), use either paddle
on the back of the steering wheel to
temporarily take control of gear selec-
tion. Automatic shifting returns after
7 seconds of cruising at a steady speed
without any manual shifts, or when the
vehicle stops.
Pull the right paddle to upshift and the
left paddle to downshift. The current
gear will be displayed on the instrument
cluster or HUDF.
Move the shift lever to the left from Drive (D) into the gate marked +/– and use the
paddles to manually upshift or downshift the transmission. If the current vehicle
speed is too fast or too slow for the requested gear, the shift will not occur.
Performance Shifting
While driving in Sport Mode or Track Mode (V8 models), the transmission may hold the
current gear during high cornering loads. When braking, the transmission will downshift
to keep up engine speed for exiting the corner. When driving at a steady speed, the trans-
mission will upshift to the appropriate gear.
Powertrain Braking
With the shift lever in Drive (D) when driving on steep grades where frequent braking is
required, the transmission may downshift to help hold vehicle speed and reduce brake
wear. Continuing to apply the brake pedal will cause the transmission to downshift until
3rd gear is reached. When the road levels out and the accelerator pedal is applied, the
transmission will upshift to the appropriate gear.
Manual Transmission Shifting (V8 Models Only)
1-to-4 Shift – The 1st to 4th shift feature helps achieve the best possible fuel economy.
The 1-to-4 shift message will display on the instrument cluster when, from a stop,
acceleration and vehicle qualications are met. When the shift message is displayed, the
transmission can be shifted only from 1st to 4th gear. Forcing the shift lever into any
other gear may damage the transmission.
Active Rev Match – Active Rev Match aids in smoother shifting by matching engine speed
to the next selected gear.
Pull either REV MATCH paddle on the back of the steering wheel to activate or deacti-
vate the system. When active, the current gear is displayed in amber on the instrument
cluster.
See Driving and Operating in your Owner Manual.

Driver Assistance Systems
Tires
Tire Pressure Monitor
The Low Tire Pressure warning light on the instrument cluster illuminates when one
or more of the vehicle’s tires is signicantly underinated. Fill the tires to the proper tire
pressures listed on the Tire and Loading Information label located below the driver’s door
latch. Current tire pressures can be viewed in the Driver Information Center (DIC).
Tire Sealant and Compressor KitF
The tire sealant and compressor kit can be used to temporarily seal small punctures in the
tread area of a tire. The kit is located under the trunk oor. Refer to the kit instructions for
complete operating information.
Run-Flat TiresF
The run-at tires eliminate the need for a spare tire. The tire design enables safe driv-
ing function during and after loss of pressure for 50 miles at a moderate speed. A tire
pressure of 0 will display on the DIC. Driving only a short distance with a loss of pressure
increases the chance that the tire can be repaired. Contact Roadside Assistance for the
nearest run-at tire servicing facility.
Summer Performance TiresF
Your vehicle may be equipped with summer performance tires that offer excellent dry
and wet road performance. It is recommended to install winter tires that will provide
additional traction in cold temperatures. See your Chevrolet dealer for information about
winter tires.
See Vehicle Care in your Owner Manual.
F Optional equipment
Side Blind Zone Alert/Lane Change AlertF
While driving, the Side Blind Zone Alert/Lane Change Alert displays a warning symbol
on the left or right side mirror when a vehicle is detected in that side blind zone area or
rapidly approaching that side blind zone area. The warning symbol ashes if a turn signal
is activated when a vehicle has been detected.
Rear Parking AssistF
During low-speed maneuvers when in Reverse, the system provides “distance to closest
object” information on the instrument cluster and sounds a beep. Five beeps sound when
an object is very close.
Rear Cross Trafc AlertF
During low-speed maneuvers when in Reverse, the system warns of trafc coming from
the left or right by displaying a visual alert on the Rear Vision Camera and sounding an
audible tone.
To turn the alerts on or off, go to Vehicle > Collision/Detection Systems in the Settings
menu and select the desired feature.
See Driving and Operating in your Owner Manual.
