Dodge Journey - All Wheel Drive (Awd) - if Equipped

• The transmission will automatically upshift when nec-
essary to prevent engine over-speed.
• If a downshift would cause the engine to over-speed,
that shift will not occur until it is safe for the engine.
• Avoid using speed control when AutoStick威 is
engaged.
• Transmission shifting will be more noticeable when
AutoStick威 is engaged.
• If the system detects powertrain overheating, the
transmission will revert to the automatic shift mode
and remain in that mode until the powertrain cools off.
• If the system detects a problem, it will disable the
AutoStick威 mode and the transmission will return to
the automatic mode until the problem is corrected.
To disengage AutoStick威 mode, move the shift lever to
the DRIVE position. You can shift in or out of the
AutoStick威 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 an accident
or personal injury.
ALL WHEEL DRIVE (AWD) — IF EQUIPPED
This feature provides on-demand All-Wheel Drive
(AWD). The system is automatic with no driver inputs or
additional driving skills required. Under normal driving
conditions, the front wheels provide most of the traction.
If the front wheels begin to lose traction, power is shifted
automatically to the rear wheels. The greater the front
wheel traction loss, the greater the power transfer to the
rear wheels.
