NOTE:

Even if the transmission can be reset, we recom-

mend that you visit your authorized dealer at your

earliest possible convenience. Your authorized dealer has

diagnostic equipment to determine if the problem could

recur.
If the transmission cannot be reset, authorized dealer

service is required.
Overdrive Operation
The automatic transmission includes an electronically

controlled Overdrive (fifth gear). The transmission will

automatically shift into Overdrive if the following con-

ditions are present:
• The shift lever is in the DRIVE position.
• Vehicle speed is sufficiently high.
• The driver is not heavily pressing the accelerator.

AUTOSTICK®

AutoStick® is a driver-interactive transmission feature

providing manual shift control, giving you more control

of the vehicle. AutoStick® allows you to maximize en-

gine braking, eliminate undesirable upshifts and down-

shifts, 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.

Operation

When the shift lever is in the DRIVE position, the

transmission will operate automatically, shifting between

the five available gears. To engage AutoStick®, simply

tap the shift lever to the right or left (+/-) while in the

DRIVE position, or tap one of the steering wheel-

mounted shift paddles (+/-), if equipped. Tapping (-) to

enter AutoStick® mode will downshift the transmission
