AUTOSTICK

AutoStick is a driver-interactive transmission
feature providing manual shift control, giving
you more control of the vehicle. AutoStick al-
lows you to maximize engine braking, eliminate
undesirable upshifts and downshifts, and im-
prove 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

When the gear selector is in the DRIVE (D)
position, the transmission will operate automati-
cally, shifting between the eight available gears.
To activate AutoStick, move the gear selector
into the MANUAL (M) position (beside the
DRIVE position). The current transmission gear
will be displayed in the instrument cluster, along
with a highlighted "M" (Manual) indication.
When the gear selector is in the MANUAL (M)
position, tap the gear selector forward (-) (or tap
the (-) shift paddle on the steering wheel, if
equipped) to downshift the transmission to the
next lower gear, or tap the lever rearward (+) (or
tap the (+) shift paddle, if equipped) to com-

NOTE:
Tapping one of the steering wheel-mounted
shift paddles (+/-), if equipped, while the
gear selector is in DRIVE, will activate a
temporary AutoStick mode. Tapping (-) to
enter AutoStick mode will downshift the
transmission to the next lower gear, while
tapping (+) to enter AutoStick mode will
retain the current gear. The current gear will
be displayed in the instrument cluster, but
the M will not be highlighted. The transmis-
