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.
SPORT MODE — WITHOUT PERFORMANCE CONTROL
Yo u r v e h i c l e i s e q u i p p e d w i t h a S p o r t M o d e f e a t u r e . T h i s m o d e i s a c o n f i g u r a t i o n s e t u p
for typical enthusiast driving. The engine, transmission (when equipped with automatic
transmission), and steering systems are all set to their SPORT settings. Sport Mode will
provide improved throttle response and modified shifting for an enhanced driving
experience, as well the greatest amount of steering feel. This mode may be activated and
deactivated by pressing the Sport button on the instrument panel switch bank.
For vehicles equipped with Drive Modes, Refer to “Performance Control — If Equipped”
within “Uconnect Settings” in “Understanding Your Instrument Panel” chapter on your
DVD or in the “Drive Mode Supplement” within your Owners information kit for further
information.
MANUAL TRANSMISSION 1 TO 4 SKIP SHIFT
There are times when you must shift the transmission directly from first gear to fourth gear
instead of from first gear to second gear. This is to help you get the best possible fuel
economy from your vehicle. This occurs when the engine coolant (antifreeze) is higher
than 106°F (41°C), vehicle speed is greater than 19 mph (30 km/h) but less than 21 mph
(34 km/h), and the transmission is in first gear, and the accelerator is at¼throttle or less.
After you shift the transmission to fourth gear, you can press the clutch in and shift to
another forward gear.

-EngineTemperatureWarningLight
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.

-MalfunctionIndicatorLight(MIL)
Certain conditions, such as a loose or missing gas cap, poor fuel quality, etc., may
illuminate the MIL after engine start. The vehicle should be serviced if the light stays on
through several typical driving cycles. In most situations, the vehicle will drive normally
and not require towing.
If the MIL flashes when the engine is running, serious conditions may exist that could lead
to immediate loss of power or severe catalytic converter damage. We recommend you do
not operate the vehicle. Have the vehicle serviced immediately.
