How to use your Manual Shift on your 2015 Chevy Cruze

- We are going to learn how to use the manual shift mode in a 2015 Chevrolet Cruze.
When looking at the shift pattern, you will notice P, R, N, D, and off to the side, a plus and a minus. To shift through the gears, press the button on the front of the shift lever and put the vehicle into drive. Once in drive, nudge the gear lever to the left to place the car in manual mode. A letter “M” will appear in place of “D” in the driver information center. The “M” will have a number next to it which is the gear the car is currently in. The Cruze has 6 gears which can all be accessed with the manual mode. From a stop, you can start off in first, second, or third. All you need to do is nudge the gear lever forward towards the plus icon to shift up or nudge it backward towards the minus to shift down.
The transmission will protect the car from going into a gear that would cause damage. Therefore, you cannot place the car in first on the highway at 65 miles per hour. The driver information center will let you know when a shift is denied. When you are done shifting, nudge the gear lever to the right to place the car back into Drive. Having the ability to control what gear you are in makes for a dynamic driving experience. It is fun and can even get you better fuel economy.

That call the good boy hair cut
I rented a cruze and I had no idea how to change gears into fast speeds. Thank you! That car is really powerful
This is AUTOMATIC!!!
i have a new chevrolet cruze LT, with an automatic transmition with manual shift mode, i do use it on occasion especially when im climbing a large hill and the transmition wants to upshift into 6th gear, or need to pass, so far i love the car and would recomend it, love the great gas milage and comfort of my new car , thanks for your video , signed happy cruze owner :)
Thank you
it's not the same like Drive manual transmission is a big difference.
I got 2015 chevy cruze and was driving for the first time, I meant to shift the gear to automatic but shifted to manual and didn’t know that. And was driving 55kms and it’s was making lots off sounds. Then came to stop and realized it was on manual can anyone tell me is my Vehicle got damaged or any part was it in trouble or whT?
I like it intresting it fixes it self then you have to stop on a dime and yes you can switch it back to automatic... No problem
The Impala doesn't have the +/- option?
I WOULDVE NEVER FIGURED THIS OUT BC I TRIED TO SHIFT 2ND GEAR TN AND IT SAID “Shift Denied” AND HOMEGIRL FR WENT TO 6,000 RPM AND IT SCARED ME
I just keep it in regular drive mode and it drives just fine. Whenever I use the driver shift control the engine roars quickly and I have to constantly upshift and downshift and I'm worried that my transmission might get damaged so I never use that feature. By the way I drive a 2016 Chevy Cruze Limited LT with a 1.4 liter 4 cylinder engine.
Terence Johnson "the engine roars quickly and I have to constantly upshift and downshift" BRO, let me drive your car, I WOULD LOVE A ROARING ENGINE AND SHIFT MANUALLY!
Do you still have that car? And is it treating you well? I plan to get one
Happens with me too
@@ShusakuFuseki No I don’t have a Chevy Cruze anymore. In August of 2020, the engine on it overheated and died, thanks to my no good of an ex girlfriend. From that point on to October of 2022, I went without a vehicle and now I have a 2011 Buick Enclave CXL SUV. But yeah, if you already don’t have a Chevy Cruze, you should get one.
@@terencejohnson3057 thats a shame…sorry for your loss. I actually ended up getting one in 2020 at the end of january and im still using it! Love it
Do you need to release the gas pedal before shifting?
Good question!!!
Nope! atleast according to most people
Nope.
hi,in manual mode do you need to let go of the gas pedal before shifting?
I do have the same question ....
No
Wait so if you don't know what rpm to downshift at could you just put it back into automatic mode whenever you want? Or will that wreck the transmit ion?
On my Mazda 3 I can just put it back into drive with no consequences, although I'm not sure what the case is with this car.
You can put it back into "D" anytime you want! ;)
You can leave it in manual and you can even slow down to a stop from 6th gear and it will still automatically downshift for you. It won't let the car stall out. However, it won't automatically shift up for you if you're running at max RPM down the street.
Yes that is correct!
Hi, is it possible to change manual to automatic transmission for 2013 Cruze?
Tun Tun Tin You have to check does your shifter area have the plus and minus section ( + & -)
No, mine is Manual transmission
My stepdad's malibu has this, except it is a button on the shifter that has a plus and minus. When I drive, if I have the option to drive in manual, I ONLY DRIVE IN MANUAL. Then that way I can shift only at very high rpm so that I can sound cool on the street. Ik it won't make the car very gas efficient, but it's FUN AF! I also drove a 2018 Dodge Charger Hemi, and it has paddle shifters. The entire time I drove in manual, and once on a straight road I went FULL THROTTLE, and didn't shift until like 5,500 rpm. It was BADASS!! Now that I know my stepdad's Malibu can be driven in manual, every time I drive it, IT'S ALWAYS GOING TO BE IN MANUAL.
In my profession you're what we refer to as job security
I've never heard of anyone wrecking a transmission by rolling from a stop in 6th gear. Would be a really slow start and can wreak havoc on the clutch (or torque converter) that way but not the transmission.
DadsSkateShop that’s because nobody does it. The amount of wear and tear on it would be a lot and you would quickly shorten the life of your transmission. Although this Cruze isn’t true manual, it does save you the risk with the fun of driving a manual to an extent.
Mr. King that's why i posted my comment. It would destroy the clutch before it does anything on the trans.
Wouldn’t you just stall? Not destroy the transmission but just stall the engine?
no help
Or get a manual transmission lol
Thats really not I can drive a regular stick not that b.s thats called manual when its not the real thing
Kyle smith its not a manual transimission but the car is more responsive in this mode
This video didn't help me with anything
Navi you and I both! I’d rather have the old school, old fashioned stick and clutch.
J V L I V S Photography I agree! I'm only 16 but I LOVE manual transmission. I want to drive stick shift, but of course when I first tried it I only drove like 30 feet, and stalled like 12 times. But this feature shown in this video is very helpful for me. Bc if I am in any car, even if it is normally automatic, if it has the option to drive manual, I ONLY DRIVE IN MANUAL. This way I can sound cool on the street by only shifting at very high rpm unless I am cruising, and when I am on a fast straight road, and I feel like doing a quick full throttle acceleration, I can sound badass by shifting at rpm as high as like 5,500, and get the most power out of the car. I could care less about gas mileage, I just care about POWER, and A LOUD ENGINE!
It’s not manual at all if your car denies your input at all. Plus all manual modes are useless anyways.
that's automatic 😂😂😂
Yep
Is a chevy Cruze :( there is no fun!
In corners they are fairly fun, but straight line no.
That is an automatic stupid. Not interested.... I'm gone.
I shut this one off pretty quick. I thought it was a manual. NOT!!!
