STARTING AND OPERATING 161
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 autho-
rized dealer has diagnostic equipment to
assess the condition of your transmission.
If the transmission cannot be reset, authorized
dealer service is required.
AutoStick
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, elimi-
nate 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, trailer towing, and
many other situations.
Operation
When the gear selector is in the DRIVE (D) position,
the transmission will operate automatically,
shifting between the eight available gears. To acti-
vate AutoStick, move the gear selector 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 gear selector is
in the MANUAL (M) position, tap the gear selector
forward (-) (or tap the (-) shift paddle on the
steering wheel, if equipped) to downshift the trans-
mission to the next lower gear, or tap the lever rear-
ward (+) (or tap the (+) shift paddle, if equipped) to
command an upshift.
Shifter Paddles
NOTE:
Tapping one of the steering wheel-mounted
shift paddles (+/-), if equipped, while the gear
selector is in DRIVE, will activate a temporary
AutoStick mode. Tapping (-) to enter AutoS-
tick mode will downshift the transmission to
the next lower gear, while tapping (+) 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 gear selector
remains in DRIVE) after a period of time,
depending on accelerator pedal activity.
In some models, the shift paddles may be
disabled (or re-enabled, as desired) using
Drive Mode Set-Up, accessed by selecting
Performance Control or SRT Drive Modes
from the Apps menu in the Uconnect screen.
In AutoStick mode, the transmission will shift up
or down when (+/-) is manually selected by the
driver (using the gear selector, or the shift
paddles [if equipped]), unless an engine lugging
or overspeed condition would result. It will
