AutoStick

Operation

To activate AutoStick

௡ mode, place the shift lever in the

DRIVE position, then press and release the AUTOSTICK
ON/OFF switch on the end of the shift lever. A number

(indicating the current transmission gear) will be illumi-
nated in the transmission gear display (located in the
instrument cluster) while AutoStick

௡ mode is active.

Next, press the AUTOSTICK switch up (+) or down (-).
This allows you to select a higher or lower range of gears.
Pressing the bottom of the switch (-) triggers a downshift
(unless it would cause engine overspeeding), and press-
ing the top of the switch (+) triggers an upshift (unless it
would cause engine lugging). The transmission will
remain in the current gear until an upshift or downshift
is chosen. The transmission will automatically downshift
as the vehicle slows to a stop (to prevent engine lugging)
and will display the current gear. Pressing the top of the
switch (+) when at a stop will allow starting in second
gear. After a stop, the driver should manually upshift (+)
the transmission as the vehicle is accelerated.
