ELECTRONIC SHIFTER – 3.6L ENGINE
• Your new vehicle is equipped with a state
of the art, fuel efficient 8 speed transmis-
sion. The electronic shift lever in this ve-
hicle does not slide like a conventional
shifter. Instead, the shift lever is spring
loaded and moves forward and rearward,
always returning to the center position
after each gear is selected.

displayed both on the shift lever and in
the Electronic Vehicle Information Center
(EVIC).
