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.
•
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
overspeed, 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 pressed (if equipped), or hold-
ing the gear selector in the (-) position, will down-
shift 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 instru-
ment cluster. You can shift in or out of the AutoStick
mode at any time without taking your foot off the accel-
erator 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 enthusi-
ast 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, the1-4Skip
Shift feature is disabled in SPORT Mode.
FUEL SAVER TECHNOLOGY 5.7L —
IF EQUIPPED
This feature offers improved fuel economy by shutting
off four of the engine's eight cylinders during light load
and cruise conditions. The system is automatic with no
driver inputs or additional driving skills required. When
the system is active, an indication will display within the
instrument cluster “Fuel Economy” main menu screen.
NOTE:
This system may take some time to return to full func-
tionality after a battery disconnect.
ELECTRIC POWER STEERING
The electric power steering system provides increased
vehicle response and ease of maneuverability. The sys-
tem adapts to different driving conditions. If the electric
steering system experiences a fault that prevents it
from providing assist, you will still have the ability to
steer the vehicle manually.
WARNING!
Continued operation with reduced assist could pose a
safety risk to yourself and others. Service should be
obtained as soon as possible.
Alternate electric power steering efforts can be selected
through the Uconnect System
page 95.
If the Electric Power Steering Fault Warning Light is dis-
played and the “SERVICE POWER STEERING” or the
“POWER STEERING ASSIST OFF – SERVICE SYSTEM”
message is displayed within the instrument cluster dis-
play, this indicates the vehicle needs to be taken to the
dealer for service
page 57.
NOTE:
•
Even if the power steering system is no longer
operational, it is still possible to steer the vehicle.
Under these conditions there will be a substantial
increase in steering effort, especially at low speeds
and during parking maneuvers.
