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 high-

lighted 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. Tap-

ping (-) 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.
