166 STARTING AND OPERATING
NOTE:
You must press and hold the brake pedal while
shifting out of PARK.
Gear Selector
The transmission gear selector has PARK,
REVERSE, NEUTRAL, DRIVE, and AutoStick (+/-)
shift positions. Manual shifts can be made
using the AutoStick shift control (refer to
“AutoStick” in this section for further
information). Toggling the gear selector forward
(-) or rearward (+) while in the AutoStick position
(beside the DRIVE position) will manually select
the transmission gear, and will display the
current gear in the instrument cluster as 1, 2, 3,
etc.
NOTE:
If the gear selector cannot be moved to the
PARK, REVERSE, or NEUTRAL position (when
pushed forward) it is probably in the AutoStick
(+/-) position (beside the DRIVE position). In
AutoStick mode, the transmission gear (1, 2, 3,
etc.) is displayed in the instrument cluster.
Move the gear selector to the right (into the
DRIVE [D] position) for access to PARK,
REVERSE, and NEUTRAL.

The nine-speed transmission has been
developed to meet the needs of FCA current
and future lineup of FWD/AWD vehicles.
Software and calibration is refined to optimize
the customer’s driving experience and fuel
When leaving the vehicle, always make
sure the ignition is in the OFF mode,
remove the key fob from the vehicle, and
lock the vehicle.
Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or
with access to an unlocked vehicle.
Allowing children to be in a vehicle unat-
tended is dangerous for a number of
reasons. A child or others could be seriously
or fatally injured. Children should be
warned not to touch the parking brake,
brake pedal or the transmission gear
selector.
Do not leave the key fob in or near the
vehicle (or in a location accessible to chil-
dren), and do not leave the ignition in the
ON or RUN mode. A child could operate
power windows, other controls, or move the
vehicle.
WARNING! (Continued)
CAUTION!
Shift into or out of PARK or REVERSE only
after the vehicle has come to a complete
stop.
Do not shift between PARK, REVERSE,
NEUTRAL, or DRIVE when the engine is
above idle speed.
Before shifting into any gear, make sure
your foot is firmly pressing the brake pedal.
