6. Shift into the desired gear range. If the problem is
no longer detected, the transmission will return to
normal operation.
NOTE:
Even if the transmission can be reset, we recommend
that you visit an authorized dealer at your earliest pos-
sible convenience. An authorized dealer has diagnostic
equipment to assess the condition of your transmis-
sion. If the transmission cannot be reset, authorized
dealer service is required.
AutoStick — If Equipped
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, eliminate undesirable upshifts and downshifts,
and improve overall vehicle performance. This feature
can also provide you with more control during passing,
city driving, cold slippery conditions, mountain driving,
trailer towing, and many other situations.
Operation
In AutoStick mode, you can use the gear selector (in the
MANUAL position), or the paddle shifters to the
MANUAL (M) position (beside the DRIVE (D) position), or
tap one of the paddle shifters on the steering wheel.
Tapping the (-) paddle shifter to enter AutoStick mode
will downshift the transmission to the next lower gear,
while tapping (+) to enter AutoStick mode will retain the
current gear. The current transmission gear will be dis-
played in the instrument cluster.
NOTE:
The paddle shifters (if equipped) may be disabled using
the Uconnect Personal Settings.
AutoStick mode has the following operational benefits:
•
The transmission will automatically downshift as the
vehicle slows (to prevent engine lugging) and will
display the current gear.
•
The transmission will automatically downshift to
FIRST gear when coming to a stop. After a stop, the
driver should manually upshift (+) the transmission
as the vehicle is accelerated.
•
You can start out, from a stop, in FIRST or SECOND
gear. Tapping (+) at a stop will allow starting in SEC-
OND gear. Starting out in SECOND gear can be help-
ful in snowy or icy conditions.
•
If a requested downshift would cause the engine to
overspeed, that shift will not occur.
•
The system will ignore attempts to upshift at too low
of a vehicle speed.
•
Holding the (-) paddle pressed, or holding the gear
selector in the (-) position, will downshift the trans-
mission to the lowest gear possible at the current
speed.
•
Transmission shifting will be more noticeable when
AutoStick is enabled.
•
The system may revert to automatic shift mode if a
fault or overheat condition is detected.
To disengage AutoStick mode, return the gear selector
to the DRIVE (D) position, or press and hold the (+)
paddle shifter until "D" is indicated in the instrument
cluster. You can shift in or out of 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 — IF EQUIPPED
Your vehicle is equipped with a SPORT Mode feature.
The engine, transmission, and steering systems are all
set to their SPORT settings. SPORT Mode will provide
improved throttle response and modified transmission
shift points for an enhanced driving experience, as well
as greater amount of steering feel. This mode may be
activated and deactivated by pushing the SPORT button
on the instrument panel switch bank.
ALL-WHEEL DRIVE OPERATION
SINGLE-SPEED OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS/PRECAUTIONS —
IF EQUIPPED
This system contains a single-speed (HI range only)
transfer case, which provides convenient full-time All-
Wheel Drive (AWD). No driver interaction is required.
The Brake Traction Control (BTC) System, which com-
bines standard ABS and Traction Control, provides
resistance to any wheel that is slipping to allow addi-
tional torque transfer to wheels with traction.
