AUTOSTICK

AutoStick is a driver-interactive transmission feature providing manual shift control,
giving you more control of the vehicle. AutoStick 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
When the gear selector is in the DRIVE (D) position, the transmission will operate
automatically, 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 command an upshift.
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 transmission will revert
back to normal operation (if the gear selector remains in DRIVE) after a period of time,
depending on accelerator pedal activity.
