Chrysler 2014 300 SRT - Owner Manual - Manual (Page 389)

Operation
When the shift lever is in the DRIVE position, the
transmission will operate automatically, shifting between
the five available gears. To engage AutoStick®, simply
tap the shift lever to the right or left (+/-) while in the
DRIVE position, or tap one of the steering wheel-
mounted shift paddles (+/-). Tapping (-) to enter
AutoStick® mode will downshift the transmission to the
next lower gear, while using (+) to enter AutoStick®
mode will retain the current gear. When AutoStick® is
active, the current transmission gear is displayed in the
Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) portion of
the instrument cluster. In AutoStick® mode, the trans-
mission will shift up or down when (+/-) is manually
selected by the driver (using the shift lever, or the shift
paddles), unless an engine lugging or overspeed condi-
tion would result. It will remain in the selected gear until
another upshift or downshift is chosen, except as de-
scribed below.
• If AutoStick® is engaged while in DRIVE mode, the
transmission will automatically shift up when maxi-
mum engine speed is reached.
