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.

ELECTRONIC CONTROL DAMPING SYSTEM
• This vehicle may be equipped with an electronic controlled damping system. Thissystem reduces body roll and pitch in many driving situations including cornering,
acceleration and braking. There are three modes of operation:
Automatic (Auto) Mode
• This is the default position when vehicleignition is first turned on. This mode will
give a sporty, but comfortable ride. Within
this mode, the suspension will adapt to
the vehicle inputs, including vehicle
speed, steering inputs, braking, and ac-
celeration.
• If AutoStick® is engaged while in “Auto” mode, the transmission will automati-
cally shift up if maximum engine speed is
reached.
• Heavily pressing the accelerator pedal may generate an automatic downshift for improved acceleration.
• This mode should be used for most driving situations.
Sport ModeSPORT
• This mode is driver selectable when the vehicle is placed in SPORT mode (press
the CONTROLS button and then the
SPORT button on the display screen). This
mode will set suspension for maximum
performance handling and is intended for
spirited driving.
• When SPORT mode is enabled, a flag will light up in the instrument cluster.
NOTE:
The SPORT setting will provide a firmer ride.
SRT
79

Track Mode
• In track mode, the transmission has asportier, more aggressive shift pattern.
• This mode includes SPORT Suspension and affects transmission shifting in ei-
ther normal Drive or Autostick®.
• If Autostick® (console shifter or paddle shifters) is engaged while in “Track”
mode, the transmission will remain in the
selected gear even when maximum en-
gine speed is reached. Engine overspeed
protection is achieved through fuel cut off
at or near redline.
• This mode will provide aggressive shifting and is intended for spirited driving.
• The system will return to SPORT mode when the ignition switch is cycled from RUN to OFF, and back to RUN again, if this mode is selected.

WARNING!
Measurement of vehicle statistics with the Performance Features is intended for off-
highway or off-road use only and should not be done on any public roadways. It is
recommended that these features be used in a controlled environment and within the
limits of the law. The capabilities of the vehicle as measured by the performance pages
must never be exploited in a reckless or dangerous manner, which can jeopardize the
user’s safety or the safety of others. Only a safe, attentive, and skillful driver can prevent
accidents.

NOTE:
AFTER INFLATION, THE VEHICLE MAY NEED TO BE DRIVEN FOR 20 MINUTES BEFORE THE
FLASHING LIGHT WILL TURN OFF.
Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for proper tire maintenance, and it is the
driver’s responsibility to maintain correct tire pressure, even if under-inflation has not
reached the level to trigger illumination of the TPMS low tire pressure telltale.
Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS malfunction indicator to indicate when
the system is not operating properly. The TPMS malfunction indicator is combined with the
low tire pressure telltale.
When the system detects a malfunction, the telltale will flash for approximately one minute
and then remain continuously illuminated. This sequence will continue upon subsequent
vehicle start-ups as long as the malfunction exists. When the malfunction indicator is
illuminated, the system may not be able to detect or signal low tire pressure as intended.
TPMS malfunctions may occur for a variety of reasons, including the installation of replace-
ment or alternate tires or wheels on the vehicle that prevent the TPMS from functioning
properly. Always check the TPMS malfunction telltale after replacing one or more tires or
wheels on your vehicle to ensure that the replacement or alternate tires and wheels allow
the TPMS to continue to function properly.
NOTE:
Tire pressures change by approximately 1 psi (7 kPa) per 12° F (7° C) of air temperature
change. Keep this in mind when checking tire pressure inside a garage, especially in the
Winter. Example: If garage temperature is 68°F (20°C) and the outside temperature is 32°F
(0°C), then the cold tire inflation pressure should be increased by 3 psi (21 kPa), which equals
1 psi (7 kPa) for every 12°F (7°C) for this outside temperature condition.
CAUTION!
The TPMS has been optimized for the original equipment tires and wheels. TPMS
pressures and warning have been established for the tire size equipped on your vehicle.
Undesirable system operation or sensor damage may result when using replacement
equipment that is not of the same size, type, and/or style. Aftermarket wheels can cause
sensor damage. Do not use tire sealant from a can, or balance beads if your vehicle is
equipped with a TPMS, as damage to the sensors may result.
- Engine Temperature Warning Light
This light warns of an overheated engine condition.
If the light turns on or flashes continuously while driving, safely pull over and stop the
vehicle. If the A/C system is on, turn it off. Also, shift the transmission into NEUTRAL and
idle the vehicle. If the temperature reading does not return to normal, turn the engine off
immediately.
We recommend that you do not operate the vehicle or engine damage will occur. Have the
vehicle serviced immediately.
