INSTRUMENT CLUSTER

INSTRUMENT CLUSTER DESCRIPTIONS

1. Tachometer
   • Indicates the engine speed in revolutions per minute (RPM x 1000).
2.  Instrument Cluster Display
   • When the appropriate conditions exist, this display shows the instrument cluster display messages Ú page 13.
3. Speedometer
   • Indicates vehicle speed.
4. Temperature Gauge
   • The temperature gauge shows engine coolant temperature. Any reading within the normal range indicates that the engine cooling system is operating satisfactorily.
   • The gauge pointer will likely indicate a higher temperature when driving in hot weather, up mountain grades, or when towing a trailer. It should not be allowed to exceed the upper limits of the normal operating range.

INSTRUMENT CLUSTER DISPLAY

Your vehicle is equipped with an instrument cluster display, which offers useful information to the driver. With the ignition in the OFF mode, opening/closing of a door will activate the display for viewing, and display the total miles, or kilometers, in the odometer. Your instrument cluster display is designed to display important information about your vehicle’s systems and features.

Using a driver interactive display located on the instrument panel, your instrument cluster display can show you how systems are working and give you warnings when they are not. The steering wheel mounted controls allow you to scroll through the main menus and submenus. You can access the specific information you want and make selections and adjustments.

LOCATION AND CONTROLS

The instrument cluster display features an interactive display which is located in the instrument cluster

MANUAL TRANSMISSION — IF EQUIPPED

RECOMMENDED SHIFT SPEEDS

To utilize your manual transmission efficiently for fuel economy, it should be upshifted as listed in the recommended shift speed chart.

AUTOSTICK

Auto Stick is a driver-interactive transmission feature providing manual shift control, giving you more control of the vehicle. Auto Stick allows you to maximize engine braking, eliminate undesirable upshifts and downshifts, and improve overall vehicle performance. This system can also provide you with more control during passing, city driving, cold slippery conditions, mountain driving, trailer towing, and many other situations.

Operation

In Auto Stick mode, you can use the gear selector (in the MANUAL position), or the shift paddles to the MANUAL  (M) position (beside the DRIVE (D) position), or tap one of the shift paddles on the steering wheel. Tapping the (-) shift paddle to enter Auto Stick mode will downshift the transmission to the next lower gear, while tapping (+) to enter Auto Stick mode will retain the current gear. The current transmission gear will be displayed in the instrument cluster.

Historical Data

The Historical Data feature allows you to view information about your vehicle such as the VIN, miles on the odometer, longitude and latitude coordinates, and more. To activate the Historical Data feature on your touchscreen, follow these steps:

1. Select the Home page tab within Performance Pages. Then, press the settings icon (gear icon) in the upper right hand corner of the touchscreen.
2. Towards the bottom of the screen, a checkbox will appear next to “Include historical data in screenshot.” Click the box to signify that this feature will be on.
   • Date
   • Outside Temperature
   • Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)
   • Odometer
   • Latitude/Longitude
3. To take a screenshot of the historical data, make sure a USB device is plugged into the vehicle. Next, click the Camera icon located in the top right corner of the touchscreen. The historical data image file will be saved to the USB drive

TIMERS

When the Timers Page is selected, you will be able to select the Drag or Accel & Braking tabs. The following will be displayed:

• Recent
  The most recent successful run of performance timers. If a run does not complete within the timer’s limit, or is aborted, the values shown will revert to the most recent valid run.
• Last
  The last recorded successful run of performance timers.
• Best
  The best recorded run of performance timers, except for braking data.
• Save
  Pressing the Save button will let you save the visible page, Recent/Last/Best. Any saved run over 10 will overwrite the last saved run for Uconnect system storage.

DYNAMOMETER (DYNO)

The system will start drawing graphs for Power and Torque (top chart) and Engine Speed (bottom chart). The graph will fill to the right side of the page (based on History time selected). Once the right side of the page is reached, the graph will scroll with the right side always being the most recent recorded sample.

Drive Mode Set-Up

Default Mode

The vehicle will always start in Default Mode. This mode is for typical driving conditions. While in Default Mode, the Engine/Transmission and Traction will operate in their Normal settings and cannot be changed. The Steering Assist may be configured to “Normal”, “Sport”, or “Comfort” by pressing the corresponding button on the touchscreen. The Paddle Shifters (if equipped) may be enabled or disabled while in this mode.This vehicle is equipped with a Launch Control system that is designed to allow the driver to achieve quick, consistent vehicle acceleration in a straight line. Launch Control is a  form of traction control that manages tire slip while  launching the vehicle. This feature is intended for use during race events on a closed course where consistent quarter-mile and 0-to-60 times are desired.

The system is not intended to compensate for lack of driver experience or familiarity with the race track. Use of this feature in low traction (cold, wet, gravel, etc.) conditions may result in excess wheel slip outside this system’s control resulting in an aborted launch.

• Launch Control is not available for the first 500 miles (805 km) of the vehicle’s life.
• Launch Control should only be used when the engine and transmission are at operating temperature.
• Launch Control is intended to be used on dry, paved road surfaces only. Use on slippery or loose surfaces may cause damage to vehicle components and is not recommended.
• Launch Control is not available in ESC Full Off mode.

Sport Mod

Sport Mode is a configuration set-up for typical enthusiast driving. The Transmission and Steering are both set to their Sport settings. The steering wheel Paddle Shifters are enabled. Traction Control defaults to Normal. Any of these four settings may be changed to the driver’s preferences by pressing the buttons on the touchscreen.

Push the Sport button on the instrument panel switch bank to put the vehicle in Sport Mode and activate these settings. The customized settings will only be active when the Sport button is active.

Possible Performance Control configurations are listed with accompanying descriptions. The information contained in the list can also be accessed from within the mode Set-Up menus. To access the information, press the Info button on the touchscreen from the mode Set-Up menu, and use the Left/Right arrows to toggle through available descriptions. The title for each system in the Set-Up menu can be pressed, which provides the descriptions for each function of that system.
