O P E R AT I N G Y O U R V E H I C L E 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 pressing the Sport button on the instrument panel switch bank. For vehicles equipped with Drive Modes, Refer to "Performance Control - If Equipped" within "Uconnect Settings" in "Understanding Your Instrument Panel" chapter on your DVD or in the "Drive Mode Supplement" within your Owners 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. 50
