When selecting the appropriate gear in SelectShift™ transmission mode, the message center will display the current selected gear.

The SelectShift™ shift transmission will make some shifts automatically, primarily to protect the engine from stalling.

The transmission will not up shift if the redline is approached and must be shifted manually by pressing the SelectShift™ switch (+) on the selector lever and releasing.
