To disengage AutoStick® mode, return the shift lever to

the DRIVE position. You can shift in or out of the

AutoStick® position at any time without taking your foot

off the accelerator pedal.

Do not downshift for additional engine braking on a

slippery surface. The drive wheels could lose their

grip and the vehicle could skid, causing a collision or

personal injury.

DRIVING ON SLIPPERY SURFACES

Rapid acceleration on snow covered, wet, or other slip-

pery surfaces may cause the driving wheels to pull

erratically to the right or left. This phenomenon occurs

when there is a difference in the surface traction under

the front (driving) wheels.

Rapid acceleration on slippery surfaces is dangerous.

Unequal traction can cause sudden pulling of the

front wheels. You could lose control of the vehicle

and possibly have a collision. Accelerate slowly and

carefully whenever there is likely to be poor traction

(ice, snow, wet, mud, loose sand, etc.).
