Unless something's changed, my understanding was that you needed to slide the shifter from M to D, back to M to give shifting control back to the car.

When i had my V6 auto that is what i did i just held down the + button for 5 to 10 seconds and it when back into sport more now i dunno if 2010 auto is different from 2011 or V8 or V6 is different just was wondering if it is normal.

I'm totally confused here.

Are you talking about sport mode, or manual mode? They are two different things and really have nothing to do with each other.

Owners manual section 9-32

When in Tap Shift mode with a
V8 model, the driver can exit
Tap Shift by holding the right
(upshift) control for two seconds.
The transmission will return to
automatic shifting.
On V8 models, the driver may
choose to briefly enter Tap Shift
mode while in D (Drive). Tapping
either the upshift or downshift
control will place the transmission
in Tap Shift mode. The driver may
then exit Tap Shift mode by holding
the upshift control for two seconds.
The system will return to automatic
shifting after 10 seconds of cruising
at a steady speed, or when the

vehicle comes to a stop.

Thanks for posting, MMC!

So then just manual mode and not sport mode?

OMG,,,, I was looking for previous posts describing sport mode, Manual mode, and competition mode etc. and I found this nearly 3 year old gem from yours truly.

I'm not as funny as I used to be. LMAO

For example, "Honey? Is there anything you want to talk about before football season starts?"

Sport Mode should not be confused with 'Playoff Mode' which doesn't require special subscriptions or anything but is a more 'cerebral' preperation. It requires a more solid and stern plan of attack.

For example, "Hey, find something to do for a few weeks, I need some space".

Hope this cleared it up for you. Sport Mode is a feature I've had since I was a small boy. It's easy to use but may require some practice.



CAUTION; DO NOT use Sport Mode if you are in a brand new relationship. Sport Mode requires a break in period. Low RPM and slower speeds.



Disclaimer:
Sport Mode not compatible with all models. Use sport mode at your own risk.

What year car? 2010 cars may have been different, this information was from a 2011 manual. I do not see this line in the 2010 manual. (below)

Manual Mode
Tap Shift
Tap Shift allows the driver to
manually control the automatic
transmission. To use Tap Shift, the
shift lever must be in M (Manual
Mode). Vehicles with this feature
have flags on the top of the steering
wheel to indicate to the driver the
location of the switches on the back
of the steering wheel. Tap the left
switch to downshift, and the right
switch to upshift. A display in the
Driver Information Center will show
which gear the vehicle is in.

See

Driver Information Center (DIC)

on page 4-27

for more information.

While using the Tap Shift feature,
the vehicle will have firmer, quicker
shifting for increased performance.
You can use this for sport driving or
when climbing or descending hills, to
stay in gear longer, or to down shift
for more power or engine braking.
The transmission will only allow
you to shift into gears appropriate
for the vehicle speed and engine
Revolutions Per Minute (RPM).
The transmission will not
automatically shift to the next higher
gear if the engine RPM is too high.
If shifting is prevented for any
reason, the message Shift Denied
will appear in the DIC, indicating
that the transmission has not
shifted gears. While in the Tap
Shift mode, the transmission will
not automatically downshift on
hard acceleration.
When coasting to a stop, the
V6 transmission will automatically
downshift to 1 (First) gear, and the
V8 transmission will automatically
downshift to 2 (Second) gear.
A 1 (first) gear start can be selected
using the Tap Shift controls on
V8 models When accelerating from
a stop the transmissions will hold
these gears until the driver manually
selects higher gears using the Tap
Shift controls.
When accelerating the vehicle from
a stop in snowy and icy conditions,
you may want to shift into second
gear. A higher gear ratio allows you
to gain more traction on slippery

surfaces
