• Avoid using speed control when AutoStick௡ is

engaged.

• Transmission shifting will be more noticeable when

AutoStick

௡ is engaged.

• 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, 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 an accident
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.
