Dodge CHALLENGER 2020 - Sport Mode - Without Performance; Control

174 STARTING AND OPERATING
 The transmission will automatically down-
shift 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
and an indication will display.
 The system will ignore attempts to upshift at
too low of a vehicle speed and an indication
will display.
 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.
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 (when equipped with automatic
transmission), and steering systems are all set
to their SPORT settings. SPORT Mode will
provide improved throttle response and
modified 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.
NOTE:
If equipped with a manual transmission,
the 1 - 4 Skip Shift Feature is disabled in
SPORT Mode.
For vehicles equipped with Drive Modes or a
“SUPER TRACK PAK” button, refer to “Drive
Mode Supplement” for further information.
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.
