AUTOSTICK
Steering Wheel Mounted Paddle Shifters Or Console Mounted Shifter
AutoStick is a driver-interactive transmission feature providing manual shift control,
giving you more control of the vehicle. AutoStick allows you to maximize engine braking,
eliminate undesirable upshifts and downshifts, and improve overall vehicle performance.
This system can also provide you with more control during passing, city driving, cold
slippery conditions, mountain driving, and many other situations.
Operation
When the shift lever is in the DRIVE (D) position, the transmission will operate automati-
cally, shifting between the eight available gears. To activate AutoStick, move the shift lever
into the MANUAL (M) position (beside the DRIVE position). The current transmission gear
will be displayed in the instrument cluster, along with a highlighted "M" (Manual)
indication. When the shift lever is in the MANUAL (M) position, tap the shift lever forward
(-) (or tap the (-) shift paddle on the steering wheel, if equipped) to downshift the
transmission to the next lower gear, or tap the lever rearward (+) (or tap the (+) shift
paddle, if equipped) to command an upshift.
NOTE:
Ta p p i n g o n e o f t h e s t e e r i n g w h e e l - m o u n t e d s h i f t p a d d l e s ( + / - ) , i f e q u i p p e d , w h i l e t h e s h i f t
lever is in DRIVE, will activate a temporary AutoStick mode. Tapping (-) to enter AutoStick
mode will downshift the transmission to the next lower gear, while using (+) to enter
AutoStick mode will retain the current gear. The current gear will be displayed in the
instrument cluster, but the "M" will not be highlighted. The transmission will revert back
to normal operation (if the shift lever remains in DRIVE) after a period of time, depending
on accelerator pedal activity.
In AutoStick mode, the transmission will shift up or down when (+/-) is manually selected
by the driver (using the shift lever, or the shift paddles [if equipped]), 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.
•IntemporaryAutoStickmode(shiftleverinDRIVE),thetransmissionwillautomatically
shift up when maximum engine speed is reached. If the accelerator is fully depressed,
the transmission will downshift when possible (based on current vehicle speed and
gear). Lack of accelerator pedal activity will cause the transmission to revert to
automatic operation.
•IfnormalAutoStickmodeisengaged(shiftleverinMANUALposition),manualgear
selection will be maintained until the shift lever is returned to DRIVE, or as described
below. The transmission will not upshift automatically at redline in this mode, nor will
downshifts be obtained if the accelerator pedal is pressed to the floor.

hold the (+) shift paddle (if equipped, and the shift lever is already in DRIVE) until “D” is
once again indicated 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.
WARNING!
Do not downshift for additional engine braking on a slippery surface. The drive wheels
could lose their grip and the vehicle could skid, causing a collision or personal injury.

INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WARNING LIGHTS
-LowFuelWarningLight
This warning light indicates when the fuel level reaches approximately 2.0 gal (7.8 L), this
light will turn on and a single chime will sound.
-ElectronicStabilityControl(ESC)Activation/MalfunctionIndicatorLight
The “ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light” in the instrument cluster will come on
when the ignition switch is turned to the ON/RUN position. It should go out with the
engine running. If the “ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light” comes on continu-
ously with the engine running, a malfunction has been detected in the ESC system.
If this light remains on after several ignition cycles, and the vehicle has been driven
several miles (kilometers) at speeds greater than 30 mph (48 km/h), we recommend you
drive to the nearest service center and have the vehicle serviced immediately.
-TirePressureMonitoringSystem(TPMS)Light
Each tire, including the spare (if provided), should be checked monthly when cold and
inflated to the inflation pressure recommended by the vehicle manufacturer on the
vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label. (If your vehicle has tires of a different size
than the size indicated on the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label, you should
determine the proper tire inflation pressure for those tires.)
As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been equipped with a tire pressure
monitoring system (TPMS) that illuminates a low tire pressure telltale when one or more
of your tires is significantly under-inflated. Accordingly, when the low tire pressure telltale
illuminates, you should stop and check your tires as soon as possible, and inflate them to
the proper pressure. Driving on a significantly under-inflated tire causes the tire to
overheat and can lead to tire failure. Under-inflation also reduces fuel efficiency and tire
tread life, and may affect the vehicle’s handling and stopping ability.

Resetting The Light After Servicing
Vehicles Equipped With Keyless Enter-N-Go™
1. Without pressing the brake pedal, push the ENGINE START/STOP button and cycle
the ignition to the ON/RUN position (do not start the engine.)
2. Fully depress the accelerator pedal, slowly, three times within 10 seconds.
3. Without pressing the brake pedal, push the ENGINE START/STOP button once to
return the ignition to the OFF/LOCK position.
Vehicles Not Equipped With Keyless Enter-N-Go™
1. Turn the ignition switch to the ON/RUN position (do not start the engine.)
2. Fully depress the accelerator pedal, slowly, three times within 10 seconds.
3. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF/LOCK position.
NOTE:
If the indicator message illuminates when you start the vehicle, the oil change indicator
system did not reset. If necessary, repeat this procedure.

indicator system will remind you that it is time to take your vehicle in for scheduled
maintenance.
Based on engine operation conditions, the oil change indicator message will illuminate.
This means that service is required for your vehicle. Operating conditions such as frequent
short-trips, trailer tow, extremely hot or cold ambient temperatures, and E85 fuel usage
will influence when the “Change Oil” or “Oil Change Required” message is displayed.
Severe Operating Conditions can cause the change oil message to illuminate as early as
3,500 miles (5,600 km) since last reset. Have your vehicle serviced as soon as possible,
within the next 500 miles (805 km).
The message “Oil Change Required” will be displayed in the DID and a single chime will
sound, indicating that an oil change is necessary.

authorized dealer, the message can be reset by referring to the steps described under
“Instrument Cluster Warning Lights” in “What To Do In Emergencies” in this guide or
“Driver Information Display (DID)” in “Understanding Your Instrument Panel” in your
Owners Manual on the DVD for further information.

MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE — 6.2L SUPERCHARGED AND 6.4L
The Scheduled Maintenance services listed in this manual must be done at the times or
mileages specified to protect your vehicle warranty and ensure the best vehicle perfor-
mance and reliability. More frequent maintenance may be needed for vehicles in severe
operating conditions, such as dusty areas and very short trip driving. Inspection and
service should also be done anytime a malfunction is suspected.
The oil change indicator system will remind you that it is time to take your vehicle in for
scheduled maintenance.
The message “Oil Change Required” will be displayed in the DID and a single chime will
sound, indicating that an oil change is necessary.
Based on engine operation conditions, the oil change indicator message will illuminate.
This means that service is required for your vehicle. Have your vehicle serviced as soon as
possible, within the next 500 miles (805 km).
