Chrysler 2013 300 - User Guide - Manual (Page 69)

Automatic (Auto) Mode
• This is the default position when vehicle
ignition is first turned on. This mode will
give a sporty, but comfortable ride. Within
this mode, the suspension will adapt to the
vehicle inputs, including 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 Sport Mode
• This mode is driver selectable when the
vehicle is placed in SPORT mode (press the
CONTROLS button and then the SPORT
button on the display screen). This mode
will set suspension for maximum perfor-
mance handling and is intended for spirited
driving.
• When SPORT mode is enabled, a flag will
light up in the instrument cluster.
NOTE:
The SPORT setting will provide a firmer ride.
TrackMode
• In track mode, the transmission has a sportier,
more aggressive shift pattern.
• This mode includes SPORT Suspension
and affects transmission shifting in either
Auto or Manual mode.
• If AutoStick (console shifter or paddle shift-
ers) is engaged while in “Track” mode, the
transmission will remain in the selected gear
even when maximum engine speed is reached.
• Engine overspeed protection is achieved
through fuel cut off at or near redline.
• This mode will provide aggressive shifting and is intended for spirited driving.
• The system will return to SPORT mode when the ignition switch is cycled from RUN to OFF,
and back to RUN again, if this mode is selected.
