clutch DODGE DART 2013 PF / 1.G User Guide

WARNING!
• Do not let children play with the sunroof, or leave children unattended in the vehiclewith the key fob in or near the vehicle. Occupants, particularly unattended children,
can become entrapped by the power sunroof while operating the power sunroof
switch. Such entrapment may result in serious injury or death.
• In a collision, there is a greater risk of being thrown from a vehicle with an open
sunroof. You could also be severely injured or killed. Always fasten your seat belt
properly and make sure all passengers are properly secured.
• Do not allow small children to operate the sunroof. Never allow your fingers, other
body parts, or any object to project through the sunroof opening. Injury may result.
WIND BUFFETING
• Wind buffeting can be described as a helicopter-type percussion sound. If buffeting
occurs with the rear windows open, adjust the front and rear windows together.
• If buffeting occurs with the sunroof open, adjust the sunroof opening, or adjust any window. This will minimize buffeting.
SIX-SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
• This vehicle may be equipped with a fuel efficient Dual-Dry Clutch, Six Speed AutomaticTransmission. This transmission offers a sportier driving experience with faster
AutoStick® shifting.
• During low-speed driving conditions in first gear, vehicle momentum changes may feel exaggerated in response to changes in accelerator pedal position. This behavior is
normal and is similar to vehicles equipped with a manual transmission.
NOTE:
• Very aggressive driving may result in some clutch odor similar to a manual transmission. An active warning message will display in the Instrument Cluster if cool down actions are
needed.
•
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).
• At low speeds you may hear mechanical noises similar to a manual transmission as the transmission changes gears. These noises are normal and will not damage the trans-
mission.
• Before and after the engine is started, you may hear a hydraulic pump for a short period of time. This noise is normal and will not damage the transmission.
Shifting The Transmission
• The transmission shift lever position (PRND) is displayed both on the shift lever and in the Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC).
OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE

• To drive, depress the brake pedal, press the button on the front of the shift lever and movethe 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 dual clutch design 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 condi-
tion. See your authorized 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 moving, if REVERSE is re-
quested 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 en- gaging DRIVE or REVERSE.
SHIFT TO NEUTRAL THEN D or R The transmission has shifted itself into NEU- TRAL (due to a fault condition, or overheatdue 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 transmission will not reengage, see your authorized dealer.
AUTOSTICK NOT AVAILABLE AutoStick® mode is unavailable due to a shift lever fault. See your authorized dealer fordiagnosis and service.

MESSAGEDESCRIPTION
AUTOMATIC MODE NOT AVAILABLE The transmission is unable to shift itself au- tomatically, due to a fault condition. Use theAutoStick® mode to shift the transmission
manually. See your authorized dealer for di- agnosis and service.
REDUCE GEAR CHANGES The transmission pump is overheating. In
AutoStick® mode, try to drive in one specific gear as much as possible, avoiding frequent
gear changes. In DRIVE, the transmission will automatically modify its shift schedule to reduce the number of shifts.
TRANS. GETTING HOT PRESS BRAKE The transmission driving clutch is overheat- ing, usually due to repeated launches in
stop-and-go traffic. Pull over and allow the transmission to cool in NEUTRAL until
“TRANS. COOL READY TO DRIVE” is dis- played.
TRANS. HOT STOP SAFELY SHIFT TO P The transmission driving clutch has over- heated. Pull over, shift the transmission intoPARK, and allow the vehicle to cool until“TRANS. COOL READY TO DRIVE” is dis- played.
SERVICE TRANSMISSION A transmission fault has been detected. See
your authorized dealer for diagnosis and ser- vice.
SERVICE SHIFTER A shift lever fault has been detected. See
your authorized dealer for diagnosis and ser- vice.
ENGAGE PARK BRAKE The sensor that monitors PARK engagement
is not functioning properly. Engage the park- ing brake to ensure that the vehicle will not roll when in PARK.
