transmission gear will be displayed in the
instrument cluster, along with a highlighted "M"
(Manual) indication. When the gear selector is
in the MANUAL (M) position, tap the gear
selector forward (-) (or tap the (-) shift paddle on
the steering wheel, if equipped) to downshift
the transmission to the next lower gear, or tap
the lever rearward (+) (or tap the (+) shift
paddle, if equipped) to command an upshift.
Shifter Paddles
1 — (–) Shift Paddle
2 — (+) Shift Paddle
NOTE:
Tapping one of the steering wheel-mounted

shift paddles (+/-), if equipped, while the gear
selector is in DRIVE, will activate a temporary
AutoStick mode. Tapping (-) to enter AutoS-
tick mode will downshift the transmission to
the next lower gear, while tapping (+) to enter
AutoStick mode will retain the current gear.
The current gear will be displayed in the
instrument cluster, but the "M" will not be
highlighted. The transmission will revert back
to normal operation (if the gear selector
remains in DRIVE) after a period of time,
depending on accelerator pedal activity.
In some models, the shift paddles may be

disabled (or re-enabled, as desired) using
Drive Mode Set-Up, accessed by selecting
Performance Control or SRT Drive Modes
from the Apps menu in the Uconnect screen.
In AutoStick mode, the transmission will shift up
or down when (+/-) is manually selected by the
driver (using the gear selector, or the shift
paddles [if equipped]), 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.
In temporary AutoStick mode (gear selector

in DRIVE), the transmission will automatically
shift up when maximum engine speed is
reached. If the accelerator is fully depressed,
STARTING AND OPERATING
the transmission will downshift when
possible (based on current vehicle speed and
gear, except 6.4L models). Lack of acceler-
ator pedal activity will cause the transmission
to revert to automatic operation.
In temporary AutoStick mode (gear selector in

DRIVE), the transmission will automatically
shift up when maximum engine speed is
reached. If the accelerator is fully depressed,
the transmission will downshift when possible
(based on current vehicle speed and gear,
except 6.2L and 6.4L models). Lack of acceler-
ator pedal activity will cause the transmission
to revert to automatic operation.
If normal AutoStick mode is engaged (gear

selector in MANUAL position), manual gear
selection will be maintained until the gear
selector is returned to DRIVE, or as described
below. The transmission will not upshift auto-
matically at redline in this mode, nor will
downshifts be obtained if the accelerator
pedal is pressed to the floor.
The transmission will automatically down-

shift as the vehicle slows (to prevent engine
lugging) and will display the current gear.
