PARKVIEW® REAR BACK UP CAMERA — IF
EQUIPPED
Your vehicle may be equipped with the ParkView® Rear
Back Up Camera that allows you to see an on-screen
image of the rear surroundings of your vehicle whenever
the shift lever is put into REVERSE. The image will be
displayed in the touchscreen display along with a caution
note to “check entire surroundings” across the top of the
screen. After five seconds this note will disappear. The
ParkView® camera is located on the rear of the vehicle
above the rear License plate.
When the vehicle is shifted out of REVERSE, the rear
camera mode is exited and the last selected touchscreen
appears again.
If your vehicle is equipped with the Camera Delay
feature and it is turned On, the rear camera image will be
displayed for up to 10 seconds when the vehicle is shiftedout of REVERSE unless the forward vehicle speed ex-
ceeds 8 mph (13 km/h), the transmission is shifted into
PARK
or the vehicle’s ignition is cycled to the OFF
position.
When enabled, active guide lines are overlaid on the
image to illustrate the width of the vehicle and its
projected backup path based on the steering wheel
position. A dashed center line overlay indicates the center
of the vehicle to assist with parking.
When enabled, fixed guide lines are overlaid on the
image to illustrate the width of the vehicle.
NOTE: The ParkView® Rear Back Up Camera has pro-
grammable modes of operation that may be selected
through the Uconnect® System. Refer to your Uconnect®
Supplement Manual for further information.
Different colored zones indicate the distance to the rear of
the vehicle.

•Floor
Air is directed through the floor outlets with a
small amount flowing through the defrost and
side window demister outlets.
• Mix
Air is directed through the floor, defrost, and side
window demister outlets. This setting works best
in cold or snowy conditions that require extra heat
to the windshield. This setting is good for maintaining
comfort while reducing moisture on the windshield.
• Defrost
Air is directed through the windshield and side
window demister outlets. Use this mode with
maximum blower and temperature settings for best
windshield and side window defrosting. NOTE:
The air conditioning compressor operates in Mix
or Defrost, even if the Air Conditioning (A/C) button is

temperature setting with the driver temperature setting.
Changing the passenger temperature setting while in
Sync will automatically exit this feature.
12. AUTO Button
Automatically controls the interior cabin temperature by
adjusting airflow distribution and amount. Performing
this function will cause the ATC to switch between
manual mode and automatic modes.
Description
The automatic dual zone climate control system regulates
the air temperatures in the passenger compartment in
two zones: driver side and passenger side.
The system maintains comfort inside the passenger com-
partment and compensates for possible variations in
external climate conditions.The climate control system can recognize extremely cold
(or extremely hot) conditions in the passenger compart-
ment and consequently provide optimal management of
the system’s capabilities.
NOTE:
The reference temperature is 71.6° F (22° C) for
optimal comfort management.
The automatically controlled parameters and functions
are:
• air temperature at the driver/front passenger side
vents;
• fan speed (continuous variation of the air flow);
• compressor engagement (for cooling/dehumidifying
the air);
• air recirculation.

To restore automatic control of the air distribution after a
manual selection, press the AUTO button.
AUTO Button
When the AUTO button is pressed (LED on button lit) the
climate control system automatically adjusts the follow-
ing settings in the corresponding zones:
•quantity and distribution of the air introduced into the
passenger compartment
• climate control system compressor and
• air recirculation.
Cancelling all previous manual adjustments.
This is indicated by the LED on the AUTO button
switching on. If the AUTO button is pressed when the AUTO LED is
on, the system switches to completely manual mode; it
displays the current flow and distribution status, which
will no longer be managed automatically.
If a manual intervention is made on at least the air
distribution or on the fan speed, the LED switches off to
indicate that the system is no longer controlling all
functions automatically.
Deactivating the compressor results in the deactivation of
automatic operation only if the system is no longer able
to guarantee comfort conditions (which depend on the
set temperature).
NOTE:
Should the system no longer be able to guarantee
the required temperature set in various passenger com-
partment zones, the set temperature value will flash for a
few seconds on the display.

Transmission Limp Home Mode
Transmission function is monitored electronically for
abnormal conditions. If a condition is detected that could
result in transmission damage, Transmission Limp Home
Mode is activated. In this mode, some gears will be
unavailable. The transmission will operate only in a
certain select set of gears (such as 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and
Reverse, or 1st, 3rd, 5th, and Reverse, or 2nd, 4th, and 6th
[with no Reverse]). PARK and NEUTRAL will continue
to be available. The Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL)
may be illuminated. Limp Home Mode allows the vehicle
to be driven to an authorized dealer for service without
damaging the transmission.
In the event of a momentary problem, the transmission
can be reset to regain all forward gears by performing the
following steps:
1. Stop the vehicle.2. Shift the transmission into PARK.
3. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position.
4. Wait approximately 10 seconds.
5. Restart the engine.
6. Shift into the desired gear range. If the problem is no
longer detected, the transmission will return to normal
operation.
NOTE: Even if the transmission can be reset, we recom-
mend that you visit your authorized dealer at your
earliest possible convenience. Your authorized dealer has
diagnostic equipment to determine if the problem could
recur.
If the transmission cannot be reset, authorized dealer
service is required.

AUTOSTICK® — IF EQUIPPED
AutoStick® is a driver-interactive transmission feature
providing manual shift control, giving you more control
of the vehicle. AutoStick® allows you to maximize en-
gine braking, eliminate undesirable upshifts and down-
shifts, and improve overall vehicle performance. This
system can also provide you with more control during
passing, city driving, cold slippery conditions, mountain
driving, and many other situations.
Operation
When the shift lever is in the AutoStick® position (beside
the Drive position), it can be moved forward and rear-
ward. This allows the driver to manually select the
transmission gear being used. Moving the shift lever
forward (-) triggers a downshift, and rearward (+) an
upshift. The current gear is displayed in the instrument
cluster.NOTE:
In AutoStick® mode, the transmission will only
shift up or down when the driver moves the shift lever
rearward (+) or forward (-), except as described below.
• The transmission will automatically upshift when nec-
essary to prevent engine over-speed.
• 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. After a stop, the driver
should manually upshift (+) the transmission as the
vehicle is accelerated.
• With six-speed automatic transmission, you can start
out (from a stop) in first, second, or third gear. Starting
out in second or third gear can be helpful in snow or
230 STARTING AND OPERATING

icy conditions. To select second or third gear after the
vehicle is brought to a stop, tap the shift lever rear-
ward (+) once or twice.
• If a requested downshift would cause the engine to
over-speed, that shift will not occur.
• Avoid using speed control when AutoStick® is en-
gaged because the transmission will not shift auto-
matically.
• Transmission shifting will be more noticeable when
AutoStick® is engaged.
• The system may revert to automatic shift mode if a
fault or overheat condition is detected.
To disengage AutoStick® mode, return the shift lever to
the DRIVE position. You can shift in or out of the
AutoStick® position at any time without taking your foot
off the accelerator pedal.WARNING!
Do not downshift for additional engine braking on a
slippery surface. The drive wheels could lose their
grip and the vehicle could skid, causing a collision or
personal injury.
DRIVING ON SLIPPERY SURFACES
Acceleration
Rapid acceleration on snow covered, wet, or other slip-
pery surfaces may cause the driving wheels to pull
erratically to the right or left. This phenomenon occurs
when there is a difference in the surface traction under
the front (driving) wheels.
