WARNING!
•Do not let children play with the sunroof, or leave children unattended in the ve-
hicle, and do not leave the key in or near the vehicle (or in a location accessible
to children).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 seriously 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.
EURO TWIN CLUTCH SIX-SPEED TRANSMISSION
•This vehicle may be equipped with a fuel efficient Euro Twin Clutch Six Speed Trans-
mission.This transmission offers a sportier driving experience with faster AutoStick®
shifting.
•During low-speed driving conditions in first gear, vehicle momentum changes may feel
exaggerated in response to changes in accelerator pedal position.This behavior is nor-
mal and is similar to vehicles equipped with a manual transmission.
NOTE:
•Very aggressive driving may result in some clutch odor similar to a manual transmission.
An active warning message will display in the Instrument Cluster if cool down actions
are needed.
•The first few shifts on a new vehicle may be somewhat abrupt.This is a normal condi-
tion, and precision shifts will develop within a few hundred miles (kilometers).
•
At low speeds you may hear mechanical noises similar to a manual transmission as the
transmission changes gears.These noises are normal and will not damage the transmission.
•Before and after the engine is started, you may hear a hydraulic pump for a short
period of time.This noise is normal and will not damage the transmission.

Shifting The Transmission
•The transmission shift lever position (PRND) is displayed both on the shift lever and in
the Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC).
•To drive, depress the brake pedal, press the button on the front of the shift lever and
move the shift lever from PARK or NEUTRAL to the DRIVE position.
•Manual shifts can also be made using the AutoStick® shift control.
•This transmission is programmed to prevent shifting from REVERSE to DRIVE or
DRIVE to REVERSE, if vehicle speed is above 6 mph (10 km/h).This safety feature
helps protect your transmission from damage.
NOTE:
•When stopped on an incline, it is recommended that you always hold the vehicle in
place using the brakes.On steep inclines, Hill Start Assist (HSA) will temporarily hold
the car in position when the brake pedal is released.If the accelerator pedal is not
applied after a short time, the car will roll back.Either reapply the brake (to hold the
vehicle) or press the accelerator to climb the hill.
•During acceleration, gear changes will feel smooth compared to a vehicle with a tradi-
tional manual transmission.This is a benefit of the Euro Twin Clutch Transmission de-
sign that avoids power loss during up-shifts.
Instrument Cluster Messages
•Messages will be displayed in the instrument cluster (if equipped with an EVIC) to alert
the driver when certain conditions occur.These messages are described below.
MESSAGE DESCRIPTION
GEAR NOT AVAILABLE In AutoStick® mode, the gear selected by the driver is
not available due to a fault condition.See your autho-
rized dealer for diagnosis and service.
SHIFT NOT ALLOWED
The gear position requested by the driver is currently
blocked.This occurs if NEUTRAL is requested while mov-
ing, if REVERSE is requested while moving (at 6 mph
[10 km/h] or faster), if DRIVE is requested while moving
backwards (at 6 mph [10 km/h] or faster), or if 3rd gear
or higher is requested at a stop.Make sure the vehicle is
stopped before engaging DRIVE or REVERSE.
SHIFT TO NEUTRAL THEN
DorRThe transmission has shifted itself into NEUTRAL (due
to a fault condition, or overheat due to excessive idling
when stopped in DRIVE with the brakes released), but
the shift lever remains in gear.Shift into NEUTRAL and
then back into gear for continued driving.If the trans-
mission will not reengage, see your authorized dealer.

AUTOSTICK NOT
AVAILABLEAutoStick® mode is unavailable due to a shift lever fault.
See your authorized dealer for diagnosis and service.
AUTOMATIC MODE NOT
AVAILABLEThe transmission is unable to shift itself automatically,
due to a fault condition.Use the AutoStick® mode to
shift the transmission manually.See your authorized
dealer for diagnosis and service.
REDUCE GEAR CHANGES The transmission pump is overheating.In AutoStick®
mode, try to drive in one specific gear as much as pos-
sible, avoiding frequent gear changes.In DRIVE, the
transmission will automatically modify its shift schedule
to reduce the number of shifts.
TRANS.GETTING HOT
PRESS BRAKEThe transmission driving clutch is overheating, usually
due to repeated launches in stop-and-go traffic.Pull
over and allow the transmission to cool in NEUTRAL
until “TRANS.COOL READY TO DRIVE” is displayed.
TRANS.HOT STOP SAFELY
SHIFT TO PThe transmission driving clutch has overheated.Pull
over, shift the transmission into PARK, and allow the
vehicle to cool until “TRANS.COOL READY TO
DRIVE” is displayed.
TRANS.COOL READY TO
DRIVEThe transmission driving clutch has cooled down after
being overheated and the vehicle is ready to continue
driving.
SERVICE TRANSMISSION A transmission fault has been detected.See your autho-
rized dealer for diagnosis and service.
SERVICE SHIFTER A shift lever fault has been detected.See your autho-
rized dealer for diagnosis and service.
ENGAGE PARK BRAKE The sensor that monitors PARK engagement is not
functioning properly.Engage the parking brake to en-
sure that the vehicle will not roll when in PARK.
