AutoStick Operation
When the shift lever is in the DRIVE position, the
transmission will operate automatically, shifting between
the five available gears. To activate AutoStick mode,
press and release the AUTOSTICK ON/OFF switch (on
the end of the shift lever) at any time while in the DRIVE
position. When AutoStick is active, the current transmis-
sion gear is displayed in the instrument cluster.
In AutoStick mode, pressing the AUTOSTICK up (+) or
down (-) switch allows you to select a higher or lower
gear. Pressing the bottom of the switch (-) triggers a
downshift (unless it would cause engine overspeeding),
and pressing the top of the switch (+) triggers an upshift
(unless it would cause engine lugging). The transmission
will remain in the current gear until another upshift or
downshift is chosen, except as described below.
• The transmission will automatically downshift as the
vehicle slows (to prevent engine lugging) and will
display the current gear.
• The transmission will automatically downshift to first
gear when coming to a stop. After a stop, the driver
should manually upshift (+) the transmission as the
vehicle is accelerated.
