Dodge 2012 Charger - Supplement - Manual (Page 37)

AutoStick ா Operation
To activate AutoStick
௡ mode, press and release the
AUTOSTICK ON/OFF switch (on the end of the shift
lever) at any time while in the DRIVE position. A number
(indicating the current transmission gear) will be illumi-
nated in the transmission gear display (located in the
instrument cluster) while AutoStick
௡ mode is active.
In AutoStick
௡ mode, pressing the AUTOSTICK up (+) or
down (-) switch allows you to select a higher or lower
gear. Pressing the bottom of the switch (-) triggers a
downshift (unless it would cause engine overspeeding),
and pressing the top of the switch (+) triggers an upshift
(unless it would cause engine lugging). The transmission
will remain in the current gear until an upshift or
downshift is chosen. The transmission will automatically
downshift as the vehicle slows to a stop (to prevent
engine lugging) and will display the current gear. Press-
ing the top of the switch (+) when at a stop will allow
starting in second gear. After a stop, the driver should
manually upshift (+) the transmission as the vehicle is
accelerated.
