NOTE:
The pedals cannot be adjusted when the
vehicle is in REVERSE or when the Elec-
tronic Speed Control is set.
CAUTION!
Do not place any article under the adjustable pedals or impede its ability to move, as
it may cause damage to the pedal controls. Pedal travel may become limited if
movement is stopped by an obstruction in the adjustable pedal's path.

WARNING!
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is a convenience system. It is not a substitute for active
driving involvement. It is always the driver’s responsibility to be attentive of road,
traffic, and weather conditions, vehicle speed, distance to the vehicle ahead; and, most
importantly, brake operation to ensure safe operation of the vehicle under all road
conditions. Your complete attention is always required while driving to maintain safe
control of your vehicle. Failure to follow these warnings can result in a collision and
death or serious personal injury.
The ACC system:
•Doesnotreacttopedestrians,oncomingvehicles,andstationaryobjects(e.g.,
astoppedvehicleinatrafficjamoradisabledvehicle).
•Cannottakestreet,traffic,andweatherconditionsintoaccount,andmaybelimited
upon adverse sight distance conditions.
•Doesnotalwaysfullyrecognizecomplexdrivingconditions,whichcanresultin
wrong or missing distance warnings.
•Willbringthevehicletoacompletestopwhilefollowingatargetvehicleandhold
the vehicle for 2 seconds in the stop position. If the target vehicle does not start
moving within two seconds the ACC system will display a message that the system
will release the brakes and that the brakes must be applied manually. An audible
chime will sound when the brakes are released.

EIGHT-SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
The transmission gear range (PRNDM) is displayed both on the shift lever and in the Driver
Information Display (DID).
To s e l e c t a g e a r r a n g e , p r e s s t h e l o c k b u t t o n o n t h e s h i f t l e v e r a n d m o v e t h e l e v e r r e a r w a r d
or forward. You must also press the brake pedal to shift the transmission out of PARK, or
to shift from NEUTRAL into DRIVE or REVERSE when the vehicle is stopped or moving at
low speeds (refer to “Brake/Transmission Shift Interlock System” within the “Starting And
Operating” chapter in your Owner’s Manual on the DVD for further information). Select the
DRIVE range for normal driving.
The electronically-controlled transmission
provides a precise shift schedule. The trans-
mission electronics are self-calibrating;
therefore, the first few shifts on a new vehicle
may be somewhat abrupt. This is a normal
condition, and precision shifts will develop
within a few hundred miles (kilometers).
Only shift from DRIVE to PARK or RE-
VERSE when the accelerator pedal is re-
leased and the vehicle is stopped. Be sure
to keep your foot on the brake pedal when
shifting between these gears.
The transmission shift lever has PARK, RE-
VERSE, NEUTRAL, DRIVE, and MANUAL
(Autostick) shift positions. Manual shifts
can be made using the Autostick shift con-
trol (refer to “AutoStick” in this section for
further information). Toggling the shift lever
forward (-) or rearward (+) while in the
MANUAL (AutoStick) position (beside the DRIVE position) will manually select the
transmission gear, and will display the current gear in the instrument cluster as M1, M2,
M3, etc.
NOTE:
If the shift lever cannot be moved to the PARK, REVERSE, or NEUTRAL position (when
pushed forward) it is probably in the MANUAL (AutoStick, +/-) position (beside the DRIVE
position). In MANUAL (AutoStick) mode, the transmission gear is displayed in the
instrument cluster (as M1, M2, M3, etc.). Move the shift lever to the right (into the DRIVE
[D] position) for access to PARK, REVERSE, and NEUTRAL.
NOTE:
For more information, refer to Automatic Transmission in the Owner’s Manual on your
DVD.

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

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.

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, except 6.4L models). Lack of accelerator pedal activity will cause the transmis-
sion 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.
