TABLE OF CONTENTS

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.

AUTOSTICK/STEERING WHEEL MOUNTED PADDLE SHIFTERS
•AutoStickisadriver-interactivetrans-
mission feature that offers manual gear
shifting to provide you with more control
of the vehicle. AutoStick allows you to
maximize engine braking, and improve
overall vehicle performance.
•This system can also provide you with more
control during passing, city driving, cold
slippery conditions, mountain driving,
trailer towing, 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, 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.

MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES
For information on the maintenance procedures for your vehicle, please refer to “Main-
tenance Procedures” in “Maintaining Your Vehicle” in your Owner’s Manual or applicable
supplement on the DVD for further details.
MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE — NON-SRT
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 n a u t o m a t i c o i l c h a n g e i n d i c a t o r s y s t e m . T h e o i l c h a n g e
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 “Oil Change Required” message will be displayed in the DID and a single chime will
sound, indicating that an oil change is necessary.
Yo u r a u t h o r i z e d d e a l e r w i l l r e s e t t h e o i l c h a n g e i n d i c a t o r m e s s a g e a f t e r c o m p l e t i n g t h e
scheduled oil change. If a scheduled oil change is performed by someone other than your
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 Dispay (DID)” in “Understanding Your Instrument Panel” in your
Owners Manual on the DVD for further information.
NOTE:
Under no circumstances should oil change intervals exceed 10,000 miles (16,000 km)
or twelve months, whichever comes first.
