• Holding the (-) paddle depressed will downshift the transmission to the lowestgear possible at the current speed.
• Transmission shifting will be more noticeable when AutoStick is enabled.
• The system may revert to automatic shift mode if a fault or overheat condition is detected.
NOTE:
When Selec-Speed or Hill Descent Control is enabled, AutoStick is not active.
To disengage AutoStick, return the gear selector to the DRIVE position, or press and
hold the (+) shift paddle (if the gear selector is already in DRIVE) until "D" is once
again indicated in the instrument cluster. You can shift in or out of AutoStick 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.
FUEL ECONOMY (ECO) MODE
The Fuel Economy (ECO) mode can improve the vehicle's overall fuel economy during
normal driving conditions. Push the “ECO” switch in the center stack of the
instrument panel to activate or disable ECO mode. An amber light on the switch
indicates when ECO mode is disabled.
When the Fuel Economy (ECO) Mode is
engaged, the vehicle control systems will
change the following:
• The transmission will upshift sooner and downshift later.
• The overall driving performance will be more conservative.
• Some ECO mode functions may be temporarily inhibited based on tem-
perature and other factors.
Active Noise Cancellation — Summit
And SRT Models Only
Your vehicle is equipped with an Active
Noise Cancellation System. This system
uses four microphones embedded in the headliner to detect undesirable exhaust
noise. An onboard frequency generator creates counteracting sound waves through
the audio system to help keep the vehicle quiet.ECO Switch
