SEAT BELT
• Be sure everyone in your vehicle is in a seat and using a seat belt properly.
• Position the lap belt across your thighs, below your abdomen. To remove slack in the lapportion, pull up a bit on the shoulder belt. To loosen the lap belt if it is too tight, tilt the
latch plate and pull on the lap belt. A snug belt reduces the risk of sliding under the belt in
a collision.
• Position the shoulder belt on your chest so that it is comfortable and not resting on your neck. The retractor will withdraw any slack in the belt.
• A shoulder belt placed behind you will not protect you from injury during a collision. You are more likely to hit your head in a collision if you do not wear your shoulder belt. The
lap and shoulder belt are meant to be used together.
• A belt that is too loose will not protect you properly. In a sudden stop you could move too far forward, increasing the possibility of injury. Wear your seat belt snugly.
• A frayed or torn belt could rip apart in a collision and leave you with no protection. Inspect the belt system periodically, checking for cuts, frays, or loose parts. Damaged
parts must be replaced immediately. Do not disassemble or modify the system. Seat belt
assemblies must be replaced after a collision if they have been damaged (bent retractor,
torn webbing, etc.).
• The seat belts for both front seating positions are equipped with pretensioning devices that are designed to remove slack from the seat belt in the event of a collision.
• A deployed pretensioner or a deployed air bag must be replaced immediately.
WARNING!
In a collision, you and your passengers can suffer much greater injuries if you are not
buckled up properly. You can strike the interior of your vehicle or other passengers, or you
can be thrown out of the vehicle. Always be sure you and others in your vehicle are buckled
up properly.

AUTOSTICK®
• When the transmission is in DRIVE, it willoperate automatically, shifting between
the eight available gears. While in SPORT
mode, the transmission will only shift
between seven of the eight available
gears.
• To engage AutoStick®, simply tap one of the steering wheel-mounted shift paddles
(+/-).
• In AutoStick® mode, the transmission will only shift up or down when (+/-) is
manually selected by the driver, except as
described below. It will remain in the
selected gear until another upshift or
downshift is chosen.
• When AutoStick® is active, the current transmission gear is displayed in the EVIC.
• If AutoStick® is engaged while in DRIVE mode, lack of accelerator pedal activity will cause the transmission to revert to automatic operation. The transmission will also upshift
automatically once redline, (where the tachometer needle points to the red portion of the
gauge) is reached. If the accelerator is pressed to the floor, the transmission will downshift
when possible (based on current vehicle speed and gear).
• When AutoStick® is used in SPORT mode, the transmission will only shift up or down when commanded by the driver, except as noted below.
• In either DRIVE or SPORT mode, the transmission will automatically downshift as the vehicle slows to a stop (to prevent engine lugging) and will display the current gear.
Tapping the (+) paddle (at a stop) will allow starting in second gear. After a stop, the
driver should manually upshift (+) the transmission as the vehicle accelerates.
NOTE:To disengage AutoStick® mode, press and hold the (+) shift paddle until “D” or “S” is
once again displayed in the EVIC. You can shift in or out of the AutoStick® mode at any time
without taking your foot off the accelerator pedal.

AUTOSTICK®
Steering Wheel Mounted Paddle Shifters Or Console Mounted Shifter
• AutoStick® is a driver-interactive transmission feature that offers manual gear shifting toprovide 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 position, the transmission will operate automatically,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.
• An “UPSHIFT” message will appear in the Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) portion of the instrument cluster when using AutoStick®, to alert the driver to
upshift to the next gear. The “UPSHIFT” message will appear when approaching the
maximum engine speed.
Auto
• This is the default position when vehicle ignition is first turned on. This mode will give asporty, 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 improved acceleration.
• This mode should be used for most driving situations.
