SPORT MODE — WITHOUT PERFORMANCE CONTROL
Your vehicle is equipped with a Sport Mode feature. This mode is a configuration set up
for typical enthusiast driving. The engine, transmission (when equipped with automatic
transmission), and steering systems are all set to their SPORT settings. Sport Mode will
provide improved throttle response and modified shifting for an enhanced driving
experience, as well the greatest amount of steering feel. This mode may be activated and
deactivated by pushing the Sport button on the instrument panel switch bank.
For vehicles equipped with Drive Modes or a "SUPER TRACK PAK" button, refer to
"Performance Control — If Equipped" within "Uconnect Settings" in "Understanding
Your Instrument Panel" on your DVD or in the "Drive Mode Supplement" within your
Owner's information kit for further information.

MANUAL TRANSMISSION 1 TO 4 SKIP SHIFT

There are times when you must shift the transmission directly from first gear to fourth gear
instead of from first gear to second gear. This is to help you get the best possible fuel
economy from your vehicle. This occurs when the engine coolant (antifreeze) is higher
than 106°F (41°C), vehicle speed is greater than 19 mph (30 km/h) but less than 21 mph
(34 km/h), and the transmission is in first gear, and the accelerator is at ¼ throttle or less.
After you shift the transmission to fourth gear, you can press the clutch in and shift to
another forward gear.
