ENGINE BREAK-IN RECOMMENDATIONS
A long break-in period is not required for the engine and drivetrain (transmission and axle)
in your vehicle.
Drive moderately during the first 300 miles (500 km). After the initial 60 miles (100 km),
speeds up to 50 or 55 mph (80 or 90 km/h) are desirable.
While cruising, brief full-throttle acceleration within the limits of local traffic laws contrib-
utes to a good break-in. Wide-open throttle acceleration in low gear can be detrimental and
should be avoided.
The engine oil installed in the engine at the factory is a high-quality energy conserving type
lubricant. Oil changes should be consistent with anticipated climate conditions under
which vehicle operations will occur. For the recommended viscosity and quality grades,
refer to “Maintaining Your Vehicle.”
NOTE:
A new engine may consume some oil during its first few thousand miles (kilometers) of
operation. This should be considered a normal part of the break-in and not interpreted as
an indication of an engine problem or malfunction.
CAUTION!
Never use Non-Detergent Oil or Straight Mineral Oil in the engine or damage may result.
Engine Break-In Recommendation — SRT Version
A long break-in period is not required for the drivetrain (engine, transmission, and rear axle)
in your new vehicle.
Drive moderately during the first 500 miles (800 km). After the initial 60 miles (100 km),
speeds up to 50 or 55 mph (80 or 90 km/h) are desirable.
While cruising, brief full-throttle acceleration within the limits of local traffic laws contrib-
utes to a good break-in. However, wide-open throttle acceleration in low gear can be
detrimental and should be avoided.
The engine oil is a high performance synthetic lubricant, the transmission fluid, and axle
lubricant installed at the factory is high-quality and energy-conserving. Oil, fluid, and
lubricant changes should be consistent with anticipated climate and conditions under
which vehicle operations will occur. For the recommended viscosity and quality grades,
refer to “Maintaining Your Vehicle”.
NOTE:
A new engine may consume some oil during its first few thousand miles (kilometers) of
operation. This should be considered a normal part of the break-in and not interpreted as an
indication of difficulty.

ELECTRONIC SHIFTER — 3.6L ENGINE
•Your vehicle is equipped with a fuel efficient
8 speed transmission. The electronic shift
lever in this vehicle does not slide like a
conventional shifter. Instead, the shift lever
is spring loaded and moves forward and
rearward, always returning to the center po-
sition after each gear is selected.
•The transmission gear range (PRND) is dis-
played both on the shift lever and in the
Electronic Vehicle Information Center
(EVIC).
Shifting From PARK To DRIVE
• Firmly depress the brake pedal, press the
lock button on the shift lever, then pull
and hold the shift lever fully rearward until
“D” is highlighted in the EVIC.
• To shift back into PARK from DRIVE, bring the vehicle to a complete stop, firmly de-
press the brake pedal, press the lock but-
ton on the shift lever, then push and hold
the shift lever fully forward until “P” is
highlighted in the EVIC.
Shifting From REVERSE To NEUTRAL
• Pull the shift lever rearward to the first detent and release. “N” will be highlighted
in the EVIC.
• To shift back into REVERSE from NEU- TRAL, firmly depress the brake pedal,
press the lock button on the shift lever, then push the shift lever forward to the first detent
and release. “R” will be highlighted in the EVIC.
Shifting From NEUTRAL To DRIVE
• Firmly depress the brake pedal, press the lock button on the shift lever, then pull the shift lever rearward and release. “D” will be highlighted in the EVIC.
• To shift back into NEUTRAL from DRIVE, firmly depress the brake pedal, press the lock button on the shift lever, then push the shift lever forward and release. “N” will be
highlighted in the EVIC.

Shifting From REVERSE To DRIVE
• Bring the vehicle to a complete stop, firmly depress the brake pedal, then pull the shiftlever fully rearward and release when “D” is highlighted in the EVIC.
• To shift back into REVERSE from DRIVE, bring the vehicle to a complete stop, firmly depress the brake pedal, press the lock button on the shift lever, then push the shift lever
forward to the second detent and release when “R” is highlighted in the EVIC.
Shifting From DRIVE To SPORT/LOW
Vehicles Equipped With SPORT Mode
• To shift from DRIVE to SPORT, pull the shift lever rearward until “S” is highlighted in the EVIC.
• To shift back into DRIVE from SPORT, pull the shift lever rearward until “D” is highlighted in the EVIC.
Vehicles Equipped With LOW Mode
• To shift from DRIVE to LOW, pull the shift lever rearward until “L” is highlighted in the EVIC.
• To shift back into DRIVE from LOW, pull the shift lever rearward until “D” is highlighted in the EVIC.
TRANSMISSION MODES/AUTOSTICK®
Sport Mode (If Equipped)
Sport mode is driver selectable and provides more aggressive shifting, for spirited driving.
• Shifting into SPORT mode can be done anytime the vehicle is in the “D” Drive position.Simply tap the shift lever rearward and release when “S” is highlighted in the EVIC.
Tapping the shift lever rearward a second time will return the vehicle to the “D” Drive
position.
NOTE:
When the vehicle is in SPORT mode, a “SPORT” message and green flag icon will be
illuminated in the instrument cluster.
Low Mode (If Equipped)
• LOW range should be used for engine braking when descending very steep grades. In this range, the transmission will downshift for increased engine braking. To switch between
DRIVE and LOW modes, tap the shift lever rearward.
Shifting into LOW can be done anytime the vehicle is in the “D” DRIVE position.

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.
