Chrysler 2004 Sebring Coupe - Manual (Page 162)

+ (UP) : Push the lever forward once to shift up one gear.
– (DOWN) : Pull the lever backward once to shift down
one gear.
CAUTION!
• Upward shifts do not take place automatically in
Autostick. The driver must execute upward shifts
in accordance with road conditions, make sure the
engine rpm remains below the red zone on the
tachometer.
• By rapidly moving the selector lever backwards
(DOWN) twice, it is possible to skip one gear, (i.e.
3rd to 1st or 4th to 2nd). Since sudden engine
de-acceleration or acceleration can cause a loss of
traction, downshifts must be made carefully in
accordance with the vehicle’s speed.
NOTE
1. In Autostick, only the 4 forward gears can be selected.
To reverse or park the vehicle, move the selector lever to
the “R” or “P” position in the main gate.
2. To maintain the required levels of vehicle performance
and safety, the system may not allow certain gear shifts
when the selector lever is operated, such as 4th gear at
low speed.
