AUTOSTICK®
Steering Wheel Mounted Paddle Shifters Or Console Mounted Shifter
• AutoStick® is a driver-interactive transmis-sion feature that offers manual gear shifting
to provide you with more control of the
vehicle. AutoStick® allows you to maximize
engine braking, and improve overall vehicle
performance.
• This system can also provide you with more control during passing, city driving, cold
slippery conditions, mountain driving, trailer
towing, and many other situations.
Operation
• When the shift lever is in the DRIVE posi-tion, the transmission will operate automati-
cally, shifting between the five available
gears. To engage AutoStick®, simply move
the shift lever to the right or left (+/-) while in the DRIVE position, or press one of the steering
wheel mounted shift paddles (+/-). When AutoStick® is active, the current transmission gear is
displayed in the Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) portion of the instrument
cluster. In AutoStick® mode, the transmission will shift when manually selected by the driver
(using the shift lever, or the shift paddles), unless an engine lugging or overspeed condition
would result. It will remain in the selected gear until another upshift or downshift is chosen,
except as described below:• 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.
• You can start out in first or second gear. Tapping (+) (at a stop) will allow starting in second gear. Starting out in second gear is helpful in snowy or icy conditions.
• The system will ignore attempts to upshift at too low of a vehicle speed.
• Transmission shifting will be more noticeable when AutoStick® is engaged. To disengage AutoStick® mode, hold the shift lever to the right or press and hold the (+) shift paddle until
“D” is once again displayed in the instrument cluster. You can shift in or out of the AutoStick®
mode at any time without taking your foot off the accelerator pedal.
ELECTRONIC CONTROL DAMPING SYSTEM
• This vehicle may be equipped with an electronic controlled damping system. This system reduces body roll and pitch in many driving situations including cornering, acceleration and
braking. There are three modes of operation:
SRT8
66

Automatic (Auto) Mode
• This is the default position when vehicleignition is first turned on. This mode will
give a sporty, but comfortable ride. Within
this mode, the suspension will adapt to the
vehicle inputs, including vehicle speed,
steering inputs, braking, and acceleration.
•
If AutoStick® is engaged while in “Auto”
mode, the transmission will automatically shift
up if maximum engine speed is reached.
• Heavily pressing the accelerator pedal may generate an automatic downshift for im-
proved acceleration.
• This mode should be used for most driving situations.
SPORTSport Mode
• This mode is driver selectable when the vehicle is placed in SPORT mode (press the
CONTROLS button and then the SPORT
button on the display screen). This mode
will set suspension for maximum perfor-
mance handling and is intended for spirited
driving.
• When SPORT mode is enabled, a flag will light up in the instrument cluster.
NOTE:
The SPORT setting will provide a firmer ride.
TrackMode
•In track mode, the transmission has a sportier,
more aggressive shift pattern.
• This mode includes SPORT Suspension and affects transmission shifting in either
Auto or Manual mode.
•
If AutoStick (console shifter or paddle shift-
ers) is engaged while in “Track” mode, the
transmission will remain in the selected gear
even when maximum engine speed is reached.
• Engine overspeed protection is achieved
through fuel cut off at or near redline.
• This mode will provide aggressive shifting and is intended for spirited driving.
• The system will return to SPORT mode when the ignition switch is cycled from RUN to OFF, and back to RUN again, if this mode is selected.

ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE
• Dial toll-free 1-800-521-2779 for U.S. Residents or 1-800-363-4869 for Canadian Residents.
• Provide your name, vehicle identification number, license plate number, and your location,including the telephone number from which you are calling.
• Briefly describe the nature of the problem and answer a few simple questions.
• You will be given the name of the service provider and an estimated time of arrival. If you feel you are in an “unsafe situation”, please let us know. With your consent, we will contact local
police or safety authorities.
INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WARNING LIGHTS
- Electronic Stability Control (ESC) Activation/Malfunction
Indicator Light
• The “ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light” in the instrument cluster will come on when the ignition switch is turned to the ON/RUN position. It should go out with the engine
running. If the “ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light” comes on continuously with the
engine running, a malfunction has been detected in the ESC system.
• If this light remains on after several ignition cy cles, and the vehicle has been driven several
miles (kilometers) at speeds greater than 30 mph (48 km/h), we recommend you drive to the
nearest service center and have the vehicle serviced immediately.
- Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Light
• Each tire, including the spare (if provided), should be checked monthly, when cold and inflated to the inflation pressure recommended by the vehicle manufacturer on the vehicle placard or
tire inflation pressure label. (If your vehicle has tires of a different size than the size indicated
on the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label, you should determine the proper tire
inflation pressure for those tires.)
• As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been equipped with a Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) that illuminates a low tire pressure telltale when one or more of your tires is
significantly under-inflated. Accordingly, when the low tire pressure telltale illuminates, you
should stop and check your tires as soon as possible, and inflate them to the proper pressure.
Driving on a significantly under-inflated tire causes the tire to overheat and can lead to tire
failure. Under-inflation also reduces fuel efficiency and tire tread life, and may affect the
vehicle’s handling and stopping ability.
• IF THE LIGHT STARTS FLASHING INDICATING A LOW TIRE PRESSURE,
ADJUST THE AIR PRESSURE IN THE LOW TIRE TO THE AIR PRESSURE
SHOWN ON THE VEHICLE PLACARD OR TIRE INFLATION PRESSURE LABEL
LOCATED ON THE DRIVER'S DOOR.
NOTE:
AFTER INFLATION, THE VEHICLE MAY NEED TO BE DRIVEN FOR 20 MINUTES
BEFORE THE FLASHING LIGHT WILL TURN OFF.
