Dodge 2014 Challenger_SRT - User Guide - Manual (Page 81)

ELECTRONIC CONTROL DAMPING SYSTEM
• This vehicle may be 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 three modes of operation:
Automatic (Auto) Mode
• This is the default position when vehicle ignition is first turned on. Auto mode will give a
sporty, but comfortable ride. Within this mode, the suspension will adapt to the vehicle
inputs, including road surfaces, vehicle speed, steering inputs, braking, and acceleration.
• If AutoStick® is engaged while in “Auto” mode, the transmission will automatically shift
up if maximum engine speed is reached.
• Heavily pressing the accelerator pedal may generate an automatic downshift for im-
proved acceleration.
• This mode should be used for most driving situations.
Sport Mode
SPORT
• This mode is driver selectable when the vehicle is placed in SPORT mode (press the
SPORT button on the center console). This mode will set suspension for maximum
performance handling and is intended for spirited driving.
• When SPORT mode is enabled, a “ SPORT”
message will display in the instrument
cluster.
NOTE:
The SPORT setting will provide a firmer
ride.
Track Mode (Automatic Transmission Only)
• This mode is selected when the SPORT button is pushed a second time. This mode
combines maximum performance suspension and aggressive transmission calibration.
• When Track mode is enabled and the transmission is in AutoStick® the transmission will
not automatically upshift at maximum engine speed. It will remain in gear until the driver
selects an upshift. When slowing to a stop it will automatically down shift to prevent
engine lugging.
• When Track mode is enabled a “Track” message will display in the instrument cluster.
