Autostick®
•Autostick® is only available on sport
equipped vehicles.
• When the transmission is in DRIVE, it will operate automatically, shifting between
the eight available gears. While in SPORT
mode, the transmission will only shift be-
tween seven of the eight available gears.
•
To engage AutoStick®, simply tap one of
the steering wheel-mounted shift paddles
(+/-).
•In AutoStick® mode, the transmission will
only shift up or down when (+/-) is manually
selected by the driver, except as described
below. It will remain in the selected gear
until another upshift or downshift is cho-
sen.
• When AutoStick® is active, the current transmission gear is displayed in the EVIC.
• If AutoStick® is engaged while in DRIVE mode, lack of accelerator pedal activity will cause the transmission to revert to automatic operation. The transmission will also
upshift automatically once redline, (where the tachometer needle points to the red
portion of the gauge) is reached. If the accelerator is pressed to the floor, the transmis-
sion will downshift when possible (based on current vehicle speed and gear).
• When AutoStick® is used in SPORT mode, the transmission will only shift up or down when commanded by the driver, except as noted below.
• In either DRIVE or SPORT mode, the transmission will automatically downshift as the vehicle slows to a stop (to prevent engine lugging) and will display the current gear.
Tapping the (+) paddle (at a stop) will allow starting in second gear. After a stop, the driver
should manually upshift (+) the transmission as the vehicle accelerates.
NOTE:
To disengage AutoStick® mode, press and hold the (+) shift paddle until “D” or “S” is once
again displayed in the EVIC. You can shift in or out of the AutoStick® mode at any time
without taking your foot off the accelerator pedal.

PLAYING iPod/USB/MP3 DEVICES
• There are many ways to play music from iPod®/MP3 players or USB devices through yourvehicle's sound system.
1. Audio Jack
• The Audio Jack, located in the center console, allows a portable device, such as an MP3 player or an iPod, to be plugged into the radio and utilize the vehicle’s sound system,
using a 3.5 mm audio cable, to amplify the source and play through the vehicle speakers.
• Touching the Player soft-key then choose AUX source will change the mode to auxiliary device if the Audio Jack is connected, allowing the music from your portable device to be
heard through the vehicle's speakers.
• The functions of the portable device are controlled using the device buttons. The volume may be controlled using the radio or portable device.
• To route the audio cable out of the center console, use the access cut out in the front of the console.
2. USB Port
• Connect your iPod® or compatible device using a USB cable into the USB Port. The USB Port is contained within the center console. USB Memory sticks with audio files can also
be used. Then, audio from the device can be played on the vehicles sound system while
providing metadata (artist, track title, album, etc.) information on the radio display.
• When connected, the iPod®/compatible USB device can be controlled using the radio or Steering Wheel Audio Controls to play, skip to the next or previous track, browse, and list
the contents.

• The iPod® battery charges when plugged into the USB port (if supported by the specificdevice).
• To route the USB/iPod® cable out of the center console, use the access cut out in the front of the console.
NOTE:
• When connecting your iPod® device for the first time, the system may take several minutes to read your music, depending on the number of files. For example, the system
will take approximately 5 minutes for every 1000 songs loaded on the device. Also during
the reading process, the Shuffle and Browse functions will be disabled. This process is
needed to ensure the full use of your iPod® features and only happens the first time it is
connected. After the first time, the reading process of your iPod® will take considerably
less time unless changes are made or new songs are added to the playlist.
• The USB port supports certain Mini, Classic, Nano, Touch, and iPhone® devices. The USB port also supports playing music from compatible external USB Mass Storage Class
memory devices. Some iPod® software versions may not fully support the USB port
features. Please visit Apple’s website for iPod® software updates.
3. SD Card (8.4 & 8.4N Only)
• Play songs stored on an SD card inserted into the SD card slot, located on the radio faceplate.
• Song playback can be controlled using the radio or Steering Wheel Audio Controls to play, skip to the next or previous track, browse, and list the contents.
4. Bluetooth® Streaming Audio
• If equipped with Uconnect® Voice Command, your Bluetooth-equipped iPod® devices, cell phones or other media players, may also be able to stream music to your vehicle's
sound system. Your connected device must be Bluetooth-compatible, and paired with
your Uconnect® system (see Uconnect® Phone for pairing instructions). You can access
