NEUTRAL.

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.
Steering Wheel Mounted Paddle Shifters
1 — (-) Shift Paddle
2 — (+) Shift Paddle
Operation
In AutoStick mode, you can use the gear
selector (in the MANUAL position), or the shift
paddles, to manually shift the transmission. To
activate AutoStick mode, move the gear
selector into the MANUAL (M) position (beside
the DRIVE position), or tap one of the shift
paddles on the steering wheel. Tapping the (-)
shift paddle 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
transmission gear will be displayed in the
instrument cluster.
AutoStick mode has the following operational
benefits:
The transmission will automatically down-

shift as the vehicle slows (to prevent engine
lugging) and will display the current gear.
The transmission will automatically down-

shift to FIRST gear when coming to a stop.
After a stop, the driver should manually
upshift (+) the transmission as the vehicle is
accelerated.
You can start out, from a stop, in FIRST or

SECOND gear (or THIRD gear, in 4WD Low
range). Tapping (+) (at a stop) will allow
starting in SECOND gear. Starting out in
SECOND or THIRD gear can be helpful in
snowy or icy conditions.
If a requested downshift would cause the

engine to over-speed, that shift will not occur.
The system will ignore attempts to upshift at

too low of a vehicle speed.
