AUTO ENGINE STOP/START OPERATION
(IF EQUIPPED)
A fuel-saving automatic engine stop/start system is included on vehicles equipped with the 2.0L L4 turbocharged engine or 3.6L V6 engine.
While driving, when the brake pedal is applied and the vehicle is at a complete stop, the auto engine stop/start system may turn off the engine, depending on operating conditions. When the engine is off, the tachometer gauge will read AUTO STOP. Upon releasing the brake pedal or applying the accelerator pedal, the engine will restart. After parking the vehicle and turning off the engine, the tachometer gauge will read OFF.
The engine may remain running or restart when the vehicle is stopped if:
• A minimum vehicle speed is not reached.
• The engine or transmission is not at the required operating temperature.
• The outside temperature is not in the required operating range.
• The shift lever is in any gear other than D (Drive).
• The battery charge is low.
• The climate control system requires the engine to run based on the current settings.
• The Auto Stop time is greater than 2 minutes.

STABILITRAK®/TRACTION
CONTROL SYSTEMS
The 8-speed automatic transmis-sion has an available Tap Shift mode that allows you to shift gears similar to a manual trans-mission.
USING TAP SHIFT
1. While in Drive (D), use either paddle behind the steering wheel to temporarily take control of gear selection.
2. Pull the right paddle to upshift or the left paddle to
downshift.
If current vehicle speed is too high or too low for the requested gear, \
the shift will not occur. When coming to a stop, the trans mission will automatically shift to 1st gear.
The automatic transmission also can be manually controlled by moving the shift lever to the left gate; tap the lever forward to upshift and rearward to downshift.
See Driving and Operating in your Owner's Manual.

The Driver Mode Control System automatically adjusts steering, automatic transmission (if equipped) and Magnetic Ride Control (if equipped) settings in real time.
Press the MODE button on the center console to select Tour (default at each ignition cycle), Sport, or Snow/Ice♦ mode.
