Chrysler 2014 300 - User Guide - Manual (Page 70)

ELECTRONIC CONTROL DAMPING SYSTEM
• This vehicle may be equipped with an electronic controlled damping 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. 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 performance
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
normal DRIVE or AutoStick® mode.
• If AutoStick® (console shifter or paddle
shifters) 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 red-
line.
