2014 DODGE CHARGER ECO mode

Autostick® (3.6L 8–Speed Transmission, If Equipped)
•Autostick® is only available on vehicles
equipped with SPORT mode.
• 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 manu-
ally selected by the driver, except as de-
scribed below. It will remain in the se-
lected gear until another upshift or
downshift is chosen.
• 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.

WARNING!
• Do not let children play with the sunroof. Never leave children unattended in a vehicle,or with access to an unlocked vehicle. Do not leave the Key Fob in or near the vehicle,
and do not leave the ignition of a vehicle equipped with Keyless Enter-N-Go™ in the
ACC or ON/RUN mode. Occupants, particularly unattended children, can become
entrapped by the power sunroof while operating the power sunroof switch. Such
entrapment may result in serious injury or death.
• In a collision, there is a greater risk of being thrown from a vehicle with an open
sunroof. You could also be severely injured or killed. Always fasten your seat belt
properly and make sure all passengers are properly secured.
• Do not allow small children to operate the sunroof. Never allow your fingers, other
body parts, or any object to project through the sunroof opening. Injury may result.
WIND BUFFETING
Wind buffeting can be described as a helicopter-type percussion sound. If buffeting occurs
with the rear windows open, adjust the front and rear windows together.
If buffeting occurs with the sunroof open, adjust the sunroof opening, or adjust any window.
This will minimize buffeting.

AUTOSTICK®
Steering Wheel Mounted Paddle Shifters Or Console Mounted Shifter
• AutoStick® is a driver-interactive trans-
mission feature that offers manual gear
shifting to provide you with more control
of the vehicle. AutoStick® allows you to
maximize engine braking, and improve
overall vehicle performance.
• This system can also provide you with more control during passing, city driving,
cold slippery conditions, mountain driv-
ing, trailer towing, and many other
situations.
Operation
• When the shift lever is in the DRIVE posi-tion, the transmission will operate auto-
matically, shifting between the five avail-
able gears. To engage AutoStick®, simply move the shift lever to the right or left (+/-)
while in the DRIVE position, or press one of the steering wheel mounted shift paddles
(+/-). When AutoStick® is active, the current transmission gear is displayed in the
Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) portion of the instrument cluster. In
AutoStick® mode, the transmission will shift when manually selected by the driver (using
the shift lever, or the shift paddles), unless an engine lugging or overspeed condition
would result. It will remain in the selected gear until another upshift or downshift is
chosen, except as described below:• The transmission will automatically downshift as the vehicle slows (to prevent engine
lugging) and will display the current gear.
• The transmission will automatically downshift to first gear when coming to a stop.
• You can start out in first or second gear. Tapping (+) (at a stop) will allow starting in second gear. Starting out in second gear is helpful in snowy or icy conditions.
• The system will ignore attempts to upshift at too low of a vehicle speed.
•
Transmission shifting will be more noticeable when AutoStick® is engaged. To disengage
AutoStick® mode, hold the shift lever to the right or press and hold the (+) shift paddle until
“D” is once again displayed in the instrument cluster. You can shift in or out of the
AutoStick® mode at any time without taking your foot off the accelerator pedal.

gine speed is reached. Engine overspeed
protection is achieved through fuel cut off
at or near redline.
