In Brief

Manual Transmission

~1min read

Skip Shift (CTS–V)

Under light acceleration, the transmission will only allow shifting from 1 (First) to 4 (Fourth).

This helps improve fuel mileage.

Under harder acceleration, Skip Shift is disabled, and all gears are available. See Manual Transmission.
