330 STARTING AND OPERATING
• The transmission will automatically upshift when nec-
essary to prevent engine over-speed.
• If a downshift would cause the engine to overspeed,
that shift will not occur until it is safe for the engine.
• Transmission shifting will be more noticeable when
AutoStick is engaged.
• Heavy Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) application will
disengage AutoStick mode.
• If the system detects powertrain overheating, the
transmission will revert to the automatic shift mode
and remain in that mode until the powertrain cools off.
• If the system detects a problem, it will disable the
AutoStick mode and the transmission will return to
the automatic mode until the problem is corrected.
• To disengage AutoStick mode, hold the shift lever to
the right (+) until "D" is once again displayed in the
instrument cluster. You can shift in or out of the
AutoStick mode at any time without taking your foot
off the accelerator pedal.
WARNING!
Do not downshift for additional engine braking on a
slippery surface. The drive wheels could lose their
grip and the vehicle could skid, causing an accident
or personal injury.
