MANUAL TRANSMISSION —
IF EQUIPPED
NOTE:
During cold weather, you may experience
increased effort in shifting until the trans-
mission fluid warms up. This is normal. Gear Selector
To shift the gears, fully press the clutch
pedal and place the gear selector into the
desired gear position (the diagram for the
engagement of the gears is displayed on the
handle of the selector).
To engage REVERSE gear from the
NEUTRAL position, lift the REVERSE ring,
located below the knob and move the gear
selector all the way left and then forward.
Shifting
Fully press the clutch pedal before shifting
gears. As you release the clutch pedal, lightly
press the accelerator pedal.
You should always use FIRST gear when
starting from a standing position.
Recommended Vehicle Shift Speeds

To utilize your manual transmission effi -
ciently for fuel economy and performance, it
should be upshifted as listed in the recom -
mended shift speed chart. Shift at the vehicle
speeds listed for acceleration. When heavily
loaded or pulling a trailer, these recom -
mended up-shift speeds may not apply.
NOTE:
A certain amount of noise from the transmis -
sion is normal. This noise can be most notice -
able when the vehicle is idling in NEUTRAL
with the clutch engaged (clutch pedal
released), but it may also be heard when
driving. The noise may also be more notice -
able when the transmission is warm. This
noise is normal and is not an indication of a
problem with your clutch or transmission.

WARNING!
You or others could be injured if you leave
the vehicle unattended without having the
park brake fully applied. The park brake
should always be applied when the driver
is not in the vehicle, especially on an
incline.
CAUTION!
Never drive with your foot resting on the
clutch pedal, or attempt to hold the
vehicle on a hill with the clutch pedal
partially engaged, as this will cause
abnormal wear on the clutch.
Do not drive with your hand resting on
the gear selector as the force exerted,
even if slight, could lead over time to
premature wear of the gearbox internal
components.

STARTING AND OPERATING
140
(Continued)
NOTE:
You must press and hold the brake pedal
while shifting out of PARK.
Ignition Park Interlock
Vehicles with push button start:
This vehicle is equipped with an Ignition
Park Interlock which requires the transmis-
sion to be in PARK before the ignition can be
turned to the OFF mode. This helps the
driver avoid inadvertently leaving the vehicle
without placing the transmission in PARK.
This system also locks the transmission in
PARK whenever the ignition is in the OFF
mode.
Vehicles with mechanical key:
This vehicle is equipped with a Key Ignition
Park Interlock which requires the transmis -
sion to be in PARK before the ignition can be
turned to the OFF (key removal) position. The
key can only be removed from the ignition when the ignition is in the OFF position, and
the transmission is locked in PARK whenever
the ignition is in the OFF position.
If the vehicle's battery becomes discharged,
the key will be trapped in the ignition even
when the gear selector is in PARK. Recharge
the battery to allow key removal.
Brake/Transmission Shift Interlock
System
This vehicle is equipped with a Brake Trans
-
mission Shift Interlock system (BTSI) that
holds the transmission gear selector in PARK
unless the brakes are applied. To shift the
transmission out of PARK, the ignition must
be in the ON/RUN mode (whether the engine
is running or not), and the brake pedal must
be pressed. The brake pedal must also be
pressed to shift from NEUTRAL into DRIVE
or REVERSE when the vehicle is stopped or
moving at low speeds.
Nine-Speed Automatic Transmission
The transmission gear range (PRND) is
displayed both beside the gear selector and
in the instrument cluster. To select a gear
range, push the lock button on the gear
selector and move the selector rearward or
forward. You must also press the brake pedal
Never leave children alone in a vehicle,
or with access to an unlocked vehicle.
Allowing children to be in a vehicle unat -
tended is dangerous for a number of
reasons. A child or others could be seri -
ously or fatally injured. Children should
be warned not to touch the park brake,
brake pedal or the transmission gear
selector.
Do not leave the key fob in or near the
vehicle (or in a location accessible to
children), and do not leave the ignition
(in a vehicle equipped with push button
start) in the ON/RUN mode. A child
could operate power windows, other
controls, or move the vehicle.
CAUTION!
Damage to the transmission may occur if
the following precautions are not observed:
Shift into or out of PARK or REVERSE
only after the vehicle has come to a
complete stop.
Do not shift between PARK, REVERSE,
NEUTRAL, or DRIVE when the engine is
above idle speed.
WARNING! (Continued)
Before shifting into any gear, make sure
your foot is firmly pressing the brake
pedal.
CAUTION! (Continued)

to shift the transmission out of PARK (or
NEUTRAL, when the vehicle is stopped or
moving at low speeds). Select the DRIVE
range for normal driving.
NOTE:
In the event of a mismatch between the gear
selector position and the actual transmission
gear (for example, driver selects REVERSE
while driving forward), the position indicator
will blink continuously until the selector is
returned to the proper position, or the
requested shift can be completed.
The electronically-controlled transmission
adapts its shift schedule based on driver
inputs, along with environmental and road
conditions. The transmission electronics are
self-calibrating; therefore, the first few shifts
on a new vehicle may be somewhat abrupt.
This is a normal condition, and precision
shifts will develop within a few hundred
miles (kilometers).
The nine-speed transmission has been devel-
oped to meet the needs of current and future
FWD/AWD vehicles. Software and calibration
is refined to optimize the customer’s driving
experience and fuel economy. By design,
some vehicle and driveline combinations
utilize 9th gear only in very specific driving
situations and conditions. Only shift from DRIVE to PARK or REVERSE
when the accelerator pedal is released and
the vehicle is stopped. Be sure to keep your
foot on the brake pedal when shifting
between these gears.
The transmission gear selector provides
PARK, REVERSE, NEUTRAL, DRIVE, and
AutoStick (+/-) shift positions. Manual shifts
can be made using the AutoStick shift
control. Moving the gear selector into the
AutoStick (+/-) position (beside the DRIVE
position) activates AutoStick mode,
providing manual shift control and displaying
the current gear in the instrument cluster (as
1, 2, 3, etc.). Toggling the gear selector
forward (-) or rearward (+) while in the Auto
-
Stick position will manually select the trans -
mission gear. Refer to "AutoStick" in this
section for further information.
NOTE:
If the gear selector cannot be moved to the
PARK, REVERSE, or NEUTRAL position
(when pushed forward) it is probably in the
AutoStick (+/-) position (beside the DRIVE
position). In AutoStick mode, the transmis -
sion gear (1, 2, 3, etc.) is displayed in the
instrument cluster. Move the gear selector to
the right (into the DRIVE [D] position) for
access to PARK, REVERSE, and NEUTRAL. Gear Selector
Gear Ranges
Do not depress the accelerator pedal when
shifting from PARK or NEUTRAL into
another gear range.
NOTE:
After selecting any gear range, wait a
moment to allow the selected gear to engage
before accelerating. This is especially
important when the engine is cold.
PARK (P)
This range supplements the parking brake by
locking the transmission. The engine can be
started in this range. Never attempt to use
PARK while the vehicle is in motion. Apply
the parking brake when exiting the vehicle in
this range.
2020_JEEP_M6_UG_UK.book Page 141

143
The following indicators should be used to
ensure that you have properly engaged the
transmission into the PARK position:
When shifting into PARK, push the lock
button on the gear selector, and firmly
move the selector all the way forward until
it stops and is fully seated.
Look at the transmission gear position
display and verify that it indicates the
PARK (P) position.
With brake pedal released, verify that the
gear selector will not move out of PARK.
REVERSE (R)
This range is for moving the vehicle back-
ward. Shift into REVERSE only after the
vehicle has come to a complete stop.
NEUTRAL (N)
Use this range when the vehicle is standing
for prolonged periods with the engine
running. The engine may be started in this
range. Apply the park brake and shift the
transmission into PARK if you must exit the
vehicle.
DRIVE (D)
This range should be used for most city and
highway driving. It provides the smoothest
upshifts and downshifts, and the best fuel
economy. The transmission automatically
upshifts through all forward gears. The
DRIVE position provides optimum driving
characteristics under all normal operating
conditions.
When frequent transmission shifting occurs
(such as when operating the vehicle under
heavy loading conditions, in hilly terrain,
traveling into strong head winds, or while
towing a heavy trailer), use the AutoStick
shift control to select a lower gear (refer to
"AutoStick" in this section for further infor -
mation). Under these conditions, using a
Do not leave the key fob in or near the
vehicle (or in a location accessible to
children), and do not leave the ignition
(in a vehicle equipped with push button
start) in the ON/RUN mode. A child
could operate power windows, other
controls, or move the vehicle.
CAUTION!
Before moving the transmission gear
selector out of PARK, you must turn the
ignition to the ON/RUN mode, and also
press the brake pedal. Otherwise,
damage to the gear selector could result.
DO NOT race the engine when shifting
from PARK or NEUTRAL into another
gear range, as this can damage the drive-
train.
WARNING! (Continued)
WARNING!
Do not coast in NEUTRAL and never turn
off the ignition to coast down a hill. These
are unsafe practices that limit your
response to changing traffic or road
conditions. You might lose control of the
vehicle and have a collision.
CAUTION!
Towing the vehicle, coasting, or driving for
any other reason with the transmission in
NEUTRAL can cause severe transmission
damage.
Refer to “Recreational Towing” in
“Starting And Operating” and “Towing A
Disabled Vehicle” in “In Case Of
Emergency” for further information.

STARTING AND OPERATING
144
lower gear will improve performance and
extend transmission life by reducing exces-
sive shifting and heat buildup.
If the transmission temperature exceeds
normal operating limits, the transmission
controller may modify the transmission shift
schedule, reduce engine torque, and/or
expand the range of torque converter clutch
engagement. This is done to prevent trans -
mission damage due to overheating.
If the transmission becomes extremely hot,
the "Transmission Temperature Warning
Light" may illuminate, and the transmission
may operate differently until the transmis -
sion cools down.
During cold temperatures, transmission
operation may be modified depending on
engine and/or transmission temperature as
well as vehicle speed. This feature improves
warm up time of the engine and transmission
to achieve maximum efficiency. Engagement
of the torque converter clutch (and, for the
nine-speed, shifts into 8th or 9th gear), are
inhibited until the engine and/or transmis -
sion is warm (refer to the “Note” under
“Torque Converter Clutch” in this section).
Normal operation will resume once the
temperature(s) have risen to a suitable level.AUTOSTICK
AutoStick is a driver-interactive transmission
feature providing manual shift control, giving
you more control of the vehicle. AutoStick
allows you to maximize engine braking, elim -
inate undesirable upshifts and downshifts,
and improve overall vehicle performance.
This system can also provide you with more
control during passing, city driving, cold slip -
pery conditions, mountain driving, trailer
towing, and many other situations.
Operation
When the gear selector is in the AutoStick
position (beside the DRIVE position), it can
be moved forward and rearward. This allows
the driver to manually select the transmis -
sion gear being used. Moving the gear
selector forward (-) triggers a downshift and
rearward (+) an upshift. The current gear is
displayed in the instrument cluster.
In AutoStick mode, the transmission will
shift up or down when the driver moves the
gear selector rearward (+) or forward (-),
unless an engine lugging or overspeed condi -
tion would result. It will remain in the
selected gear until another upshift or down -
shift is chosen, except as described below.
Six-speed transmissions will automatically
upshift when necessary to prevent engine
over-speed.
The transmission will automatically down -
shift as the vehicle slows (to prevent
engine lugging) and will display the
current gear.
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 (or THIRD gear, in six-speed
models, or in 4WD LOW range, SNOW
mode, or SAND mode, where available).
Tapping (+) (at a stop) will allow starting
in SECOND gear. Starting out in SECOND
gear can be helpful in snowy or icy condi -
tions.
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.
