• 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 automatically 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
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.
• Y ou 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.
• Holding the (-) paddle depressed (if equipped), or holding the gear selector in the (-)
position, will downshift the transmission 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 position, or press and
hold the (+) shift paddle (if equipped, and the gear selector is already in DRIVE) until “D”
is once again indicated in the instrument cluster . You can shift in or out of the 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 — WITHOUT PERFORMANCE CONTROL
Your vehicle is equipped with a Sport Mode feature. This mode is a configuration set up
for typical enthusiast driving. The engine, transmission, and steering systems are all set to

shifting for an enhanced driving experience, as well the greatest amount of steering feel.
This mode may be activated and deactivated by pushing the Sport button on the
instrument panel switch bank.
For vehicles equipped with Drive Modes or a “SUPER TRACK P ACK” button, refer to
