Transmission shifting will be more notice-
able when AutoStick is enabled.
The system may revert to automatic shift
mode if a fault or overheat condition is
detected.
NOTE:
When Selec-Speed or Hill Descent Control is
enabled, AutoStick is not active.
To disengage AutoStick, return the gear
selector to the DRIVE position. You can shift
in or out of the AutoStick position at any time
without taking your foot off the accelerator
pedal.
Transmission Limp Home Mode
Transmission function is monitored electron -
ically for abnormal conditions. If a condition
is detected that could result in transmission
damage, Transmission Limp Home Mode is
activated. In this mode, the transmission
may operate only in a fixed gear, or may remain in NEUTRAL. The Malfunction Indi
-
cator Light (MIL) may be illuminated. Limp
Home Mode may allow the vehicle to be
driven to an authorized dealer for service
without damaging the transmission.
In the event of a momentary problem, the
transmission can be reset to regain all
forward gears by performing the following
steps:
1. Stop the vehicle.
2. Shift the transmission into PARK, if possible. If not, shift the transmission to
NEUTRAL.
3. Turn the ignition to the OFF position. On vehicles with push button start, push and
hold the ignition until the engine turns
OFF.
4. Wait approximately 30 seconds.
5. Restart the engine.
6. Shift into the desired gear range. If the problem is no longer detected, the trans -
mission will return to normal operation.
NOTE:
Even if the transmission can be reset, we
recommend that you visit an authorized
dealer at your earliest possible convenience. An authorized dealer has diagnostic equip
-
ment to assess the condition of your trans -
mission. If the transmission cannot be reset,
authorized dealer service is required.
Torque Converter Clutch
A feature designed to improve fuel economy
has been included in the automatic trans -
mission on your vehicle. A clutch within the
torque converter engages automatically at
calibrated speeds. This may result in a
slightly different feeling or response during
normal operation in the upper gears. When
the vehicle speed drops or during some
accelerations, the clutch automatically
disengages.
NOTE:
The torque converter clutch will not engage
until the engine and/or transmission is warm
(usually after 1 to 3 miles [2 to 5 km] of
driving). Because the engine speed is higher
when the torque converter clutch is not
engaged, it may seem as if the transmission
is not shifting properly when the vehicle is
cold. This is normal. The torque converter
clutch will function normally once the power -
train is sufficiently warm.
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.

AUTO
: This four-wheel drive operation is a
continuous operation, is fully automatic
and can be used on and off road. This
mode balances traction to ensure maneu -
verability and acceleration improvement
compared to a vehicle with two wheel
drive. This mode also reduces fuel
consumption, since it allows the discon -
nect of the drive shaft where conditions
permit.
SNOW: This mode allows you to have
greater stability under conditions of bad
weather. For use on and off road on
surfaces with poor traction, such as roads
covered with snow. When in SNOW mode
(depending on certain operating condi -

tions), the transmission may use SECOND
gear (rather than FIRST gear) during
launches, to minimize wheel slippage.
SAND: For off-road driving or use on
surfaces with poor traction, such as dry
sand. The transmission is set to provide
maximum traction.
MUD: For off-road driving or use on
surfaces with poor traction, such as roads
covered by mud or wet grass.
ROCK (Trailhawk only): This mode is only
available in 4WD LOW range. The device
sets the vehicle to maximize traction and
allow the highest steering capacity for
off-road surfaces. This mode gives you the
maximum performance off-road. Use for
low speed obstacles such as large rocks,
deep ruts, etc.
NOTE:
Rock mode is only available on the vehi -
cles equipped with the Off-Road package.
Activate the Hill Descent Control for steep
downhill control. See “Electronic Brake
Control System” in “Safety” for further
information.
