Sport Mode - If Equipped - Dodge Challenger 2012 Owner's Manual

280 STARTING AND OPERATING
• 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 (if equipped)
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.
SPORT MODE — IF EQUIPPED
This vehicle is equipped with an electronic controlled
dampening system. This system reduces body roll and
pitch in many driving situations including cornering,
acceleration and braking. There are two modes of opera-
tion:
• Automatic (Auto) Mode — This is the default position
when vehicle ignition is first turned on. This mode will
give a sporty, but comfortable ride. Within this mode,
the suspension will adapt to the vehicle inputs, includ-
ing vehicle speed, steering inputs, braking and accel-
eration.
• Sport Mode — This mode is driver selectable by the
SPORT mode switch on the switch bank. This mode
will set suspension for maximum performance han-
dling and is intended for spirited driving.
NOTE: The SPORT setting will provide a firmer ride.
