Shifting The Transmission
•The transmission shift lever position (PRND) is displayed both on the shift lever and in
the Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC).
•To drive, depress the brake pedal, press the button on the front of the shift lever and
move the shift lever from PARK or NEUTRAL to the DRIVE position.
•Manual shifts can also be made using the AutoStick® shift control.
•This transmission is programmed to prevent shifting from REVERSE to DRIVE or
DRIVE to REVERSE, if vehicle speed is above 6 mph (10 km/h).This safety feature
helps protect your transmission from damage.
NOTE:
•When stopped on an incline, it is recommended that you always hold the vehicle in
place using the brakes.On steep inclines, Hill Start Assist (HSA) will temporarily hold
the car in position when the brake pedal is released.If the accelerator pedal is not
applied after a short time, the car will roll back.Either reapply the brake (to hold the
vehicle) or press the accelerator to climb the hill.
•During acceleration, gear changes will feel smooth compared to a vehicle with a tradi-
tional manual transmission.This is a benefit of the Euro Twin Clutch Transmission de-
sign that avoids power loss during up-shifts.
Instrument Cluster Messages
•Messages will be displayed in the instrument cluster (if equipped with an EVIC) to alert
the driver when certain conditions occur.These messages are described below.
MESSAGE DESCRIPTION
GEAR NOT AVAILABLE In AutoStick® mode, the gear selected by the driver is
not available due to a fault condition.See your autho-
rized dealer for diagnosis and service.
SHIFT NOT ALLOWED
The gear position requested by the driver is currently
blocked.This occurs if NEUTRAL is requested while mov-
ing, if REVERSE is requested while moving (at 6 mph
[10 km/h] or faster), if DRIVE is requested while moving
backwards (at 6 mph [10 km/h] or faster), or if 3rd gear
or higher is requested at a stop.Make sure the vehicle is
stopped before engaging DRIVE or REVERSE.
SHIFT TO NEUTRAL THEN
DorRThe transmission has shifted itself into NEUTRAL (due
to a fault condition, or overheat due to excessive idling
when stopped in DRIVE with the brakes released), but
the shift lever remains in gear.Shift into NEUTRAL and
then back into gear for continued driving.If the trans-
mission will not reengage, see your authorized dealer.

NOTE:
Tire pressures change by approximately 1 psi (7 kPa) per 12° F (7° C) of air tempera-
ture change.Keep this in mind when checking tire pressure inside a garage, especially in
the Winter.Example: If garage temperature is 68°F (20°C) and the outside temperature
is 32°F (0°C), then the cold tire inflation pressure should be increased by 3 psi (21 kPa),
which equals 1 psi (7 kPa) for every 12°F (7°C) for this outside temperature condition.
CAUTION!
The TPMS has been optimized for the original equipment tires and wheels.TPMS pres-
sures and warning have been established for the tire size equipped on your vehicle.
Undesirable system operation or sensor damage may result when using replacement
equipment that is not of the same size, type, and/or style.Aftermarket wheels can cause
sensor damage.Do not use tire sealant from a can, or balance beads if your vehicle is
equipped with a TPMS, as damage to the sensors may result.

WARNING!
Driving a vehicle with the red brake light on is dangerous.Part of the brake system

the vehicle checked immediately.
- Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL)
Certain conditions, such as a loose or missing gas cap, poor fuel quality, etc., may illumi-
nate the MIL after engine start.The vehicle should be serviced if the light stays on
through several typical driving cycles.In most situations, the vehicle will drive normally and
not require towing.
If the MIL flashes when the engine is running, serious conditions may exist that could lead
