2007 Chrysler 300 Owner Manual SRT8 - Page 207

STARTING AND OPERATING 207 NOTE: Even if the transmission can be reset, we recommend that you visit a dealer at your earliest possible convenience. Your dealer has diagnostic equipment to determine if the problem could recur. Have the transmission checked at your authorized dealer as soon as possible. If the problem has been momentary, the transmission can be reset to regain all forward gears. Permanent Transmission Limp Home Mode Permanent Limp Home Mode will be activated if the transmission enters temporary Limp Home Mode three times. Follow the reset procedure described under "Temporary Transmission Limp Home Mode" in this section. In Permanent Limp Home Mode, P (Park), R (Reverse), and N (Neutral) will continue to operate. Second gear will operate in the D (Drive) shifter position. The malfunction indicator light may illuminate. AUTOSTICKா Autostick௡ is a driver-interactive transmission that offers manual gear shifting to provide you with more control of the 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. Autostickா Operation By placing the selector lever in the D (Drive) position, it can be moved from side to side. This allows the driver to select a higher or lower range of gears. Moving the selector lever to the Left (-) triggers a downshift and to the Right (+) an upshift. The gear position will display in the instrument cluster on the transmission range indicator. NOTE: • In Autostick௡ mode, the transmission will only shift up and down when the driver manually moves the selector lever Right (D+) or Left (D-). 5
