• Avoid using speed control when AutoStick௡ is en-
gaged.
• Transmission shifting will be more noticeable when
AutoStick
௡ is engaged.
• If the system detects powertrain overheating, the
transmission will revert to automatic shift mode and
remain in that mode until the powertrain cools off.
• If the system detects a problem, it will disable
AutoStick
௡ mode and the transmission will return to
the automatic mode until the problem is corrected.
To disengage AutoStick ௡ mode, return the shift lever to
the DRIVE position. You can shift in or out of the
AutoStick
௡ position 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 a collision or
personal injury.
DRIVING ON SLIPPERY SURFACES
Acceleration
Rapid acceleration on snow covered, wet, or other slip-
pery surfaces may cause the driving wheels to pull
erratically to the right or left. This phenomenon occurs
when there is a difference in the surface traction under
the front (driving) wheels.
