(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:
• 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
AutoStick mode will downshift the transmis-
sion 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 re-
mains in DRIVE) after a period of time, de-
pending on accelerator pedal activity.
• In some models, the shift paddles may be
disabled (or re-enabled, as desired) using the
Drive Mode Set-Up, accessed by selecting
Performance Control 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 lug-
ging or overspeed condition would result. It will
remain in the selected gear until another upshift
or downshift is chosen, except as described
below.
• In temporary AutoStick mode (gear selector in
DRIVE), the transmission will automatically
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 6.2L and 6.4L models). Lack of accel-
erator pedal activity will cause the transmis-
sion to revert to automatic operation.
• If normal AutoStick mode is engaged (gear
selector in MANUAL position), manual gear
selection will be maintained until the gear
selector is returned to DRIVE, or as described
below. The transmission will not upshift auto-
matically at redline in this mode, nor will
downshifts be obtained if the accelerator
pedal is pressed to the floor.
• The transmission will automatically downshift
as the vehicle slows (to prevent engine lug-
ging) 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 second gear. Starting out in second
gear can be helpful in snowy or icy conditions.
• If a requested downshift would cause the
engine to over-speed, that shift will not occur .
• The system will ignore attempts to upshift at
too low of a vehicle speed.
