AUTOSTICK

Steering Wheel Mounted Paddle
Shifters Or Console Mounted Shifter
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, and many other
situations.

Operation
When the shift lever is in the DRIVE (D) posi-
tion, the transmission will operate automatically,
shifting between the eight available gears. To
activate AutoStick, move the shift lever into the
MANUAL (M) position (beside the DRIVE posi-
tion). The current transmission gear will be
displayed in the instrument cluster, along with a
highlighted "M" (Manual) indication. When the
shift lever is in the MANUAL (M) position, tap
the shift lever forward (-) (or tap the (-) shift
paddle on the steering wheel, (to downshift the
transmission to the next lower gear, or tap the
lever rearward (+) or tap the (+) shift paddle), to
command an upshift.
NOTE:
Tapping one of the steering wheel-mounted
shift paddles (+/-), while the shift lever is in
DRIVE, will activate a temporary AutoStick
mode. Tapping (-) to enter AutoStick mode
will downshift the transmission to the next
lower gear, while using (+) to enter AutoStick
mode will retain the current gear. The cur-
rent gear will be displayed in the instrument
cluster, but the M will not be highlighted.
The transmission will revert back to normal
operation (if the shift lever remains in
DRIVE) after a period of time, depending on
accelerator pedal activity.
In AutoStick mode, the transmission will shift up
or down when (+/-) is manually selected by the
driver (using the shift lever, or the shift paddles),
unless an engine lugging or overspeed condi-
tion would result. It will remain in the selected
gear until another upshift or downshift is cho-
sen, except as described below.
