The driver’s primary responsibility
is the safe operation of the
vehicle. Driving while distracted
can result in loss of vehicle
control, resulting in a collision and
personal injury. Chrysler Group
LLC strongly recommends that
the driver use extreme caution
when using any device or feature
that may take their attention off
the road. Use of any electrical
devices such as cell phones,
computers, portable radios,
vehicle navigation or other
devices by the driver while the

vehicle is moving is dangerous
and could lead to a serious
collision. Texting while driving is
also dangerous and should never
be done while the vehicle is
moving. If you find yourself
unable to devote your full
attention to vehicle operation,
pull off the road to a safe location
and stop your vehicle. Some
States or Provinces prohibit the
use of cellular telephones or
texting while driving. It is always
the driver’s responsibility to
comply with all local laws.

INTRODUCTION/WELCOME

WELCOME FROM CHRYSLER GROUP LLC

Congratulations on selecting your new Chrysler Group LLC vehicle. Be
assured that it represents precision workmanship, distinctive styling, and
high quality - all essentials that are traditional to our vehicles.

Your new Chrysler Group LLC vehicle has characteristics to enhance the
driver's control under some driving conditions. These are to assist the driver
and are never a substitute for attentive driving. They can never take the
driver's place. Always drive carefully.

Your new vehicle has many features for the comfort and convenience of you
and your passengers. Some of these should not be used when driving
because they take your eyes from the road or your attention from driving.
Never text while driving or take your eyes more than momentarily off the
road.

This guide illustrates and describes the operation of features and equipment
that are either standard or optional on this vehicle. This guide may also
include a description of features and equipment that are no longer available
or were not ordered on this vehicle. Please disregard any features and
equipment described in this guide that are not available on this vehicle.
Chrysler Group LLC reserves the right to make changes in design and
specifications and/or make additions to or improvements to its products
without imposing any obligation upon itself to install them on products
previously manufactured.

This User Guide has been prepared to help you quickly become acquainted
with the important features of your vehicle. It contains most things you will
need to operate and maintain the vehicle, including emergency information.

The DVD includes a computer application containing detailed owner's
information which can be viewed on a personal computer or MAC computer.
The multimedia DVD also includes videos which can be played on any
standard DVD player (including the Media Center Touch-Screen Radios).
Additional DVD operational information is located on the back of the DVD
sleeve.

For complete owner information, refer to your Owner's Manual on the DVD in
the owner’s kit provided at the time of new vehicle purchase. For your
convenience, the information contained on the DVD may also be printed and
saved for future reference.

Chrysler Group LLC is committed to protecting our environment and natural
resources. By converting from paper to electronic delivery for the majority of
the user information for your vehicle, together we greatly reduce the
demand for tree-based products and lessen the stress on our environment.

Rollover Warning

WARNING!

• Pedals that cannot move freely can cause loss of vehicle control and
increase the risk of serious personal injury.

• Always make sure that objects cannot fall into the driver foot well
while the vehicle is moving. Objects can become trapped under the
brake pedal and accelerator pedal causing a loss of vehicle control.

• Failure to properly follow floor mat installation or mounting can
cause interference with the brake pedal and accelerator pedal
operation causing loss of control of the vehicle.

• Never use the ‘PARK’ position as a substitute for the parking brake.
Always apply the parking brake fully when parked to guard against
vehicle movement and possible injury or damage.

• Refer to your Owner's Manual on the DVD for further details.

your aftermarket devices to see if the situation improves. If your symptoms
persist, please see an authorized dealer.

indicates that the vehicle ignition is “OFF”. Press the power door lock
switch while the door is open, press the Key Fob LOCK button, or with
one of the Key Fobs located outside the vehicle and within 5 ft (1.5m) of
the driver's and passenger front door handles, press the Keyless
Enter-N-Go™ LOCK button located on the door handle.

• Keyless Enter-N-Go™ button not installed: Turn the ignition switch to the

press the Key Fob LOCK button, or with one of the Key Fobs located
outside the vehicle and within 5 ft (1.5m) of the driver's and passenger
front door handles, press the Keyless Enter-N-Go™ LOCK button located
on the door handle.

NOTE: After pressing the Keyless Enter-N-Go™ LOCK button, you must wait

To Disarm

• Keyless Enter-N-Go™ button installed: Press the Key Fob UNLOCK
button or with one of the Key Fobs located outside the vehicle and
within 5 ft (1.5m) of the driver's and passenger front door handles, grab
the Keyless Enter-N-Go™ door handle and enter the vehicle, then press
the Keyless Enter-N-Go™ Start/Stop button (requires at least one valid

ignition to the ON/RUN position.

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 lap portion, 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.

16

GETTING STARTED

• 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.

SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) — AIR BAGS

• This vehicle has Advanced Front Air Bags for both the driver and right
front passenger as a supplement to the seat belt restraint system. The
Advanced Front Air Bags will not deploy in every type of collision.

• Advanced Front Air Bags are designed to provide additional protection
by supplementing the seat belts in certain frontal collisions depending
on the severity and type of collision. Advanced Front Air Bags are not
expected to reduce the risk of injury in rear, side, or rollover collisions.

• This vehicle is equipped with Supplemental Side Air Bag Inflatable
Curtains to protect the driver, front and rear passengers sitting next to a
window.

• This vehicle is equipped with Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side Air Bags
to provide enhanced protection to help protect an occupant during a
side impact.

• If the Air Bag Warning Light
turns on while driving, have the vehicle serviced by an authorized service
center immediately.

• Refer to the Owner's Manual on the DVD for further details regarding the
Supplemental Restraint System (SRS).

is not on during starting, stays on, or

17

GETTING STARTED

WARNING!

• Relying on the air bags alone could lead to more severe injuries in a
collision. The air bags work with your seat belt to restrain you
properly. In some collisions, the air bags won't deploy at all. Always
wear your seat belts even though you have air bags.

• Being too close to the steering wheel or instrument panel during
Advanced Front Air Bag deployment could cause serious injury,
including death. Air bags need room to inflate. Sit back, comfortably
extending your arms to reach the steering wheel or instrument
panel.

• Supplemental Side Air Bag Inflatable Curtains and Supplemental
Seat-Mounted Side Air Bags need room to inflate. Do not lean
against the door or window. Sit upright in the center of the seat.

• Being too close to the Supplemental Side Air Bag Inflatable Curtain
and/or Seat-Mounted Side Air Bag during deployment could cause
you to be severely injured or killed.

• Do not drive your vehicle after the air bags have deployed. If you
are involved in another collision, the air bags will not be in place to
protect you.

• After any collision, the vehicle should be taken to an authorized
dealer immediately.

CHILD RESTRAINTS

• Children 12 years and under should ride properly buckled up in a rear
seat, if available. According to crash statistics, children are safer when
properly restrained in the rear seats rather than in the front.

• Every state in the United States and all Canadian provinces require that
small children ride in proper restraint systems. This is the law, and you
can be prosecuted for ignoring it.

Installing The LATCH - Compatible Child Restraint System

• Your vehicle's second row passenger seats are equipped with the child
restraint anchorage system called LATCH, which stands for Lower
Anchors and Tether for CHildren.

• All three rear seating positions have lower anchorages that are capable
of accommodating LATCH-compatible child seats having flexible,
webbing-mounted lower attachments.

• Child seats with fixed lower attachments must be installed in the
outboard positions only.

• The vehicle's seat belt must be used for the center position.

• Never install LATCH-compatible child seats such that two seats share a
common lower anchorage.

18

GETTING STARTED

• Loosen the child seat adjusters on
the lower straps and tether straps
so that you can attach the hook or
connector to the lower tether
anchorages more easily.

• Attach the lower hooks or connectors over the top of the anchorage
bars, pushing aside the seat cover material. The rear seat lower
anchorages are round bars, located at the rear of the seat cushion where
it meets the seatback. The rear seat lower anchors can be readily
identified by the symbol
anchorages and are just visible when you lean into the rear seat to install
the child restraint.

• The tether strap should be attached to the tether anchor on the rear of
the seatback (behind the gap panel) using the most direct path. DO NOT
USE the cargo tie down loops located on the load floor.

located on the seatback directly above the

• Tighten all three straps as you
push the child restraint rearward
and downward into the seat.

Installing The Child Restraint Using The Vehicle Seat Belts

• To install a child restraint, first pull enough of the seat belt webbing from
the retractor to route it through the belt path of the child restraint and
slide the seat belt latch plate into the buckle.

• Next, extract all the seat belt webbing out of the retractor and then allow
the belt to retract into the retractor. Finally, pull on any excess webbing
to tighten the lap portion around the child restraint. Any seat belt system
will loosen with time, so check the belt occasionally, and pull it tight if
necessary.

19

GETTING STARTED

• Once you have completed securing the child restraint with the seat belt,
secure the top tether strap. The tether strap should be attached to the
tether anchor on the rear of the seatback (behind the gap panel) using
the most direct path. DO NOT USE the cargo tie down loops located on
the load floor.

WARNING!

• In a collision, an unrestrained child, even a tiny baby, can become a
projectile inside the vehicle. The force required to hold even an
infant on your lap could become so great that you could not hold
the child, no matter how strong you are. The child and others could
be severely injured or killed. Any child riding in your vehicle should
be in a proper restraint for the child's size.

• Improper installation of a child restraint to the LATCH anchorages
can lead to failure of an infant or child restraint. The child could be
severely injured or killed. Follow the manufacturer’s directions
exactly when installing an infant or child restraint.

• An incorrectly anchored tether strap could lead to increased head
motion and possible injury to the child. Use only the anchor
positions directly behind the child seat to secure a child restraint
top tether strap.

• Rearward-facing child seats must never be used in the front seat of
a vehicle with a front passenger air bag. An air bag deployment
could cause infants in this position to be severely injured or killed.

OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE

ENGINE BREAK-IN RECOMMENDATIONS

• A long break-in period is not required for the engine and drivetrain
(transmission and axle) in your vehicle.

• Drive moderately during the first 300 miles (500 km). After the initial
60 miles (100 km), speeds up to 50 or 55 mph (80 or 90 km/h) are
desirable.

• While cruising, brief full-throttle acceleration within the limits of local
traffic laws contributes to a good break-in. Wide-open throttle
acceleration in low gear can be detrimental and should be avoided.

• The engine oil installed in the engine at the factory is a high-quality
energy conserving type lubricant. Oil changes should be consistent with
anticipated climate conditions under which vehicle operations will occur.
For the recommended viscosity and quality grades, refer to “Maintaining
Your Vehicle”.

NOTE: A new engine may consume some oil during its first few thousand
miles (kilometers) of operation. This should be considered a normal part of
the break-in and not interpreted as an indication of difficulty.

CAUTION!

Never use Non-Detergent Oil or Straight Mineral Oil in the engine or
damage may result.

• The specified following distance for ACC can be set by varying the
distance setting between 3 (long), 2 (medium), and 1 (short). Using this
distance setting and the vehicle speed, ACC calculates and sets the
distance to the vehicle ahead. This distance setting displays in the EVIC.

Mode (ACC Only)

• If desired, the Adaptive Cruise Control mode can be turned off and the
system can be operated as a standard (fixed speed) Cruise Control.
When in the standard (fixed speed) Cruise Control mode the distance
setting feature will be disabled and the system will maintain the speed

31

OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE

Forward Collision Warning

• The Forward Collision Warning (FCW) system provides the driver with
audible and visual warnings (within the EVIC) when it detects a potential
frontal collision. The warnings are intended to provide the driver with
enough time to react and avoid the potential collision.

Changing FCW Status

• The FCW feature has three settings and can be changed within the
Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC).

•Far

• Near

•Off

NOTE: The FCW settings can only be changed when the vehicle is in PARK.

Far

• The default status of FCW is the “Far” setting.

• The far setting provides warnings for potential collisions more distant in
front of the vehicle, allowing the driver to have the most reaction time to
avoid a collision.

• This setting is designed to provide early warnings per NHTSA (National
Highway Traffic Safety Administration) recommendations.

• More cautious drivers that do not mind frequent warnings may prefer
this setting.

NOTE: This setting gives you the most reaction time.

Near

• Changing the FCW status to the “Near” setting, allows the system to
warn you of a potential frontal collision when you are much closer.

• This setting provides less reaction time than the “Far” setting, which
allows for a more dynamic driving experience.

• More dynamic or aggressive drivers that want to avoid frequent warnings
may prefer this setting.

Off

• Changing the FCW status to “Off” prevents the system from warning you
of a potential frontal collision.

NOTE:

• If FCW is set to “Off”, “FCW OFF” will be displayed in the EVIC.

Refer to the Owner's Manual on the DVD for further details.

32

OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE

WARNING!

• Leaving the Electronic or Adaptive Speed Control system on when
not in use is dangerous. You could accidentally set the system or
cause it to go faster than you want. You could lose control and have
a collision. Always leave the Electronic or Adaptive Speed Control
system off when you are not using it.

• Electronic Speed Control can be dangerous where the system
cannot maintain a constant speed. Your vehicle could go too fast for
the conditions, and you could lose control. A collision could be the
result. Do not use Electronic Speed Control in heavy traffic or on
roads that are winding, icy, snow-covered or slippery.

• Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is a convenience system. It is not a
substitute for active driving involvement. Pay attention to road,
traffic, and weather conditions, vehicle speed, distance to the
vehicle ahead; and, brake operation to ensure safe operation of the
vehicle under all road conditions. Your attention is always required
while driving to maintain safe control of your vehicle. Failure to
follow these warnings can result in a collision or serious personal
injury.

The ACC system:

• Does not react to pedestrians, oncoming vehicles, and stationary
objects (i.e., a stopped vehicle in a traffic jam or a disabled vehicle).

• Cannot take street, traffic, and weather conditions into account, and
may be limited upon adverse sight distance conditions.

• Does not predict the lane curvature or the movement of preceding
vehicles and will not compensate for such changes.

• Does not always fully recognize complex driving conditions, which
can result in wrong or missing distance warnings.

• May not detect a vehicle ahead when strong light (for example,
sunrise or sunset) is directly shining on the front of the vehicle.

• Can only apply a maximum of 25% of the vehicle’s braking
capability, and will not bring the vehicle to a complete stop.

You should switch off the ACC system:

• When driving in fog, heavy rain, heavy snow, sleet, heavy traffic, and
complex driving situations (i.e., in highway construction zones).

• When entering a turn lane or highway off ramp; when driving on
roads that are winding, icy, snow-covered, slippery, or have steep
uphill or downhill slopes; and when towing a trailer.

• When circumstances do not allow safe driving at a constant speed.

• Failure to follow these warnings can result in a collision.

(Continued)

33

OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE

WARNING! (Continued)

• Forward Collision Warning (FCW) is not intended to avoid a
collision on its own. The driver has the responsibility to avoid a
collision by controlling the vehicle via braking and steering. Failure
to follow this warning could lead to serious injury or death.

ELECTRONIC RANGE SELECTION (ERS)

• Electronic Range Select (ERS)
allows you to limit the highest
available transmission gear, and
can be activated during any
driving condition. When towing a
trailer or operating the vehicle in
off-road conditions, using ERS
shift control will help you
maximize both performance and
engine braking.

• To switch from DRIVE mode to ERS mode, tap the shift lever to the left
(-) once. The instrument cluster will display the current gear and the
transmission will not upshift beyond that gear. Tapping the shift lever to
the left (-) or right (+) will decrease or increase the top available gear. To
disable ERS, simply hold the shift lever to the right (+) until “D” is again
displayed in the instrument cluster.

• Switching between ERS and DRIVE mode can be done at any vehicle
speed.

• Refer to your Owner's Manual on the DVD for further details.

QUADRA-TRAC I® FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE

Quadra-Trac I® Operating Instructions/Precautions - 3.6L Only

• The Quadra-Trac I® is a single-speed (HI range only) transfer case, which
provides convenient full-time four-wheel drive. No driver interaction is
required. The Brake Traction Control (BTC) System, which combines
standard ABS and Traction Control, provides resistance to any wheel that
is slipping to allow additional torque transfer to wheels with traction.

QUADRA-TRAC II®/QUADRA-DRIVE II® FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE

Quadra-Trac II®/Quadra-Drive II® Operating Instructions/ Precautions

• The Quadra-Trac II®/Quadra-Drive
II® transfer case is fully automatic
in the normal driving 4WD HI
mode. The Quadra-Trac
II®/Quadra-Drive II® transfer case
provides three mode positions:

• 4WD HI

• NEUTRAL

• 4WD LOW

• This transfer case is fully
automatic in the 4WD HI mode.

• When additional traction is required, the 4WD LOW position can be used
to lock the front and rear driveshafts together and force the front and
rear wheels to rotate at the same speed. The 4WD LOW position is
intended for loose, slippery surfaces only. Driving in the 4WD LOW
position on dry, hard-surfaced roads may cause increased tire wear and
damage to driveline components.

• When operating your vehicle in 4WD LOW, the engine speed is
approximately three times that of the 4WD HI position at a given road
speed. Take care not to overspeed the engine and do not exceed 25 mph
(40 km/h).

NOTE:

• If shift conditions/interlocks are not met, or a transfer case motor
temperature protection condition exists, a “For 4x4 Low Slow Below
5 MPH or 8 KPH Put Trans in N Press 4 Low” message will flash from the
Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC).

84

OFF-ROAD CAPABILITIES

Shifting Procedures

4WD HI To 4WD LOW

• With the vehicle at speeds of 0 to 3 mph (0 to 5 km/h), the ignition
switch in the ON/RUN position or the engine running, shift the
transmission into NEUTRAL, and press the “4WD LOW” button once on
the transfer case switch. The “4WD LOW” indicator light in the
instrument cluster will begin to flash and remain on solid when the shift
is complete.

4WD LOW To 4WD HI

• With the vehicle at speeds of 0 to 3 mph (0 to 5 km/h), the ignition
switch in the ON/RUN position or the engine running, shift the
transmission into NEUTRAL, and press the “4WD LOW” button once on
the transfer case switch. The “4WD LOW” indicator light in the
instrument cluster will flash and turn off when the shift is complete.

NOTE:

• If the shift conditions/interlocks are not met, or a transfer case motor
temperature protection exists, a “For 4x4 Low Slow Below 5 MPH or 8 KPH
Put Trans in N Press 4 Low” message will flash on the Electronic Vehicle
Information Center (EVIC).

• Shifting into or out of 4WD LOW is possible with the vehicle completely
stopped; however, difficulty may occur due to the mating clutch teeth not
being properly aligned. Several attempts may be required for clutch teeth
alignment and shift completion to occur. The preferred method is with the
vehicle rolling 0 to 3 mph (0 to 5 km/h). If the vehicle is moving faster than
3 mph (5 km/h), the transfer case will not allow the shift.

NEUTRAL Shift Procedure

• Turn the ignition switch to the ON/RUN position, engine off.

• Vehicle stopped, with foot on brake.

• Place the transmission into NEUTRAL.

• Press and hold the NEUTRAL button located near the 4WD mode control

knob with a pen or similar object for four seconds. The indicator light will
begin to flash indicating the shift is in progress. The light will stop
blinking (stay on solid) when the NEUTRAL shift is complete. A “4WD
SYSTEM IN NEUTRAL” message will display on the Electronic Vehicle
Information Center (EVIC).

• Repeat these Steps to shift out of NEUTRAL.

clearance. Traction based tuning with improved steer-ability for use on
high traction off-road surfaces. Activates the Hill Descent Control for
steep downhill control. Use for low speed obstacles such as large rocks,
deep ruts, etc.

Quadra-Lift™

• The Quadra-Lift™ air suspension
system provides full time load
leveling capability along with the
benefit of being able to adjust
vehicle height by the push of a
button. Quadra-Lift™ is available
with both Quadra-Trac II® and
Quadra-Drive II™.

• The system requires that the
engine be running for all changes.
When lowering the vehicle all of
the doors, including the liftgate,
must be closed.

OFF-ROAD CAPABILITIES

• The Quadra-Lift™ air suspension system uses a lifting and lowering
pattern which keeps the headlights from shining into oncoming traffic.
When raising the vehicle, the rear of the vehicle will move up first and
then the front. When lowering the vehicle, the front will move down first
and then the rear.

• After the engine is turned off, you may notice that the air suspension
system operates briefly. This is normal. The system is correcting the
position of the vehicle.

• To assist with changing a spare tire, the Quadra-Lift™ air suspension
system has a feature which allows the automatic leveling to be disabled.
Press and hold both the “Up” and “Down” buttons simultaneously
between 5 and 10 seconds; a message will appear in the EVIC stating
leveling has been disabled immediately after both buttons have been
released. Driving the vehicle over 5 mph (8 km/h) will return the air
suspension to normal operation.

• An audible chime will be heard whenever a system error has been
detected.

Operation

• Pressing the “Up” or “Down” button once will move the suspension one
position higher or lower from the current position, assuming all
conditions are met (i.e., engine running and all doors and liftgate closed).

• The 4 indicator lamps will illuminate to show the current position of the
vehicle. Flashing indicator lamps will show a position which the system is
working to achieve. If multiple indicator lamps are flashing on the “Up”
button, the highest flashing indicator lamp is the position the system is
working to achieve.

UP

• Normal Ride Height (NRH) – This is the standard position of
the suspension and is meant for normal driving. Only the
bottom Indicator lamp on the “Up” button will be illuminated
when the vehicle is in this position.

UP

UP

• Off-Road 1 (OR1) (Raises the vehicle approximately 1.3 in
(33 mm) – This position is intended for off-road driving only
where vehicle speeds may go above 25 mph (40 km/h). Press
the “Up” button once from NRH while vehicle speed is below
48 mph (77 km/h). The bottom two Indicator lamps on the
“Up” button will be illuminated when the vehicle is in OR1.

• Off-Road 2 (OR2) (Raises the vehicle approximately 2.6 in
(65 mm) – This position is intended for off-road driving where
maximum ground clearance is required. Press the “Up” button
twice from NRH, or once from OR1 position while vehicle

This position lowers the vehicle for easier passenger entry and
exit. Press the “Down” button once from NRH while the vehicle
speed is below 25 mph (40 km/h). Once the vehicle speed
goes below 15 mph (24 km/h) the vehicle height will begin to
lower. The Indicator lamp on the “Down” button will be
illuminated when the vehicle is in Park Mode.

WARNING!

• You or others could be injured if you leave the vehicle unattended
with the transfer case in the N (Neutral) position without first fully
engaging the parking brake. The transfer case N (Neutral) position
disengages both the front and rear driveshafts from the powertrain
and will allow the vehicle to move regardless of the transmission
position. The parking brake should always be applied when the
driver is not in the vehicle.

• The air suspension system uses a high pressure volume of air to
operate the system. To avoid personal injury or damage to the
system, see your authorized dealer for service.

Hill Start Assist/Hill Descent Control

• The Hill Start Assist system assists the driver when starting a vehicle
from a stop on a hill.

• The Hill Descent Control system maintains vehicle speed while

AUTOSTICK®

• AutoStick® is a driver-interactive
transmission feature that offers
manual gear shifting to provide
youwithmorecontrolofthe
vehicle. AutoStick® allows you to
maximize engine braking,
eliminate undesirable upshifts and
downshifts, 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 tap the shift lever to the right or left (+/-)
while in the DRIVE position, or tap one of the steering wheel-mounted
shift paddles (+/-). Tapping (-) to enter AutoStick® mode will downshift
the transmission to the next lower gear, while using (+) to enter
AutoStick® mode will retain the current gear. When AutoStick® is active,
the current transmission gear is displayed in the instrument cluster. In
AutoStick® mode, the transmission will shift up or down when (+/-) is
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:

• Normally, in AutoStick® mode, the transmission will automatically shift
up when maximum engine speed is reached. If, however, AutoStick® is
engaged while in SPORT mode, the transmission will remain in the
selected gear even when maximum engine speed is reached. The
transmission will upshift only when commanded by the driver.

• 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.

• 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.

• Avoid using speed control when AutoStick® is engaged.

93

SRT8

• 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.

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.

WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES

24-HOUR TOWING ASSISTANCE

• Dial toll-free 1-800-521-2779 or 1-800-363-4869 for Canadian residents.

• Provide your name, vehicle identification number and license plate
number.

• Provide your location, including 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

- 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.

• Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for proper tire
maintenance, and it is the driver’s responsibility to maintain correct tire
pressure, even if under-inflation has not reached the level to trigger
illumination of the TPMS low tire pressure telltale.

97

WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES

• Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS malfunction indicator
to indicate when the system is not operating properly. The TPMS
malfunction indicator is combined with the low tire pressure telltale.
When the system detects a malfunction, the telltale will flash for
approximately one minute and then remain continuously illuminated. This
sequence will continue each time the vehicle is restarted as long as the
malfunction exists.

• When the malfunction indicator is illuminated, the system may not be
able to detect or signal low tire pressure as intended. TPMS malfunctions
may occur for a variety of reasons, including the installation of
replacement or alternate tires or wheels on the vehicle that prevent the
TPMS from functioning properly. Always check the TPMS malfunction
telltale after replacing one or more tires or wheels on your vehicle, to
ensure that the replacement or alternate tires and wheels allow the TPMS
to continue to function properly.

NOTE: Tire pressures change by approximately 1 psi (7 kPa) per 12° F (7° C)
of air temperature change. Keep this in mind when checking tire pressure
inside a garage, especially in the Winter. Example: If garage temperature is
68°F (20°C) and the outside temperature is 32°F (0°C), then the cold tire
inflation pressure should be increased by 3 psi (21 kPa), which equals 1 psi
(7 kPa) for every 12°F (7°C) for this outside temperature condition.

CAUTION!

The TPMS has been optimized for the original equipment tires and
wheels. TPMS pressures and warning have been established for the
tire size equipped on your vehicle. Undesirable system operation or
sensor damage may result when using replacement equipment that is
not of the same size, type, and/or style. Aftermarket wheels can cause
sensor damage. Do not use tire sealant from a can, or balance beads if
your vehicle is equipped with a TPMS, as damage to the sensors may
result.

BRAKE

- Brake Warning Light

• The Brake Warning light illuminates when there is either a system
malfunction or the parking brake is applied. If the light is on and the
parking brake is not applied, it indicates a possible brake hydraulic
malfunction, brake booster problem or an Anti-Lock Brake System
problem.

• Please have your vehicle serviced immediately.

WARNING!

Driving a vehicle with the red brake light on is dangerous. Part of the
brake system may have failed. It will take longer to stop the vehicle.
You could have a collision. Have the vehicle checked immediately.
