• An UPSHIFT message will appear in the Electronic
Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) portion of the in-
strument cluster when using Autostick
௡. This message
appears in order to alert the driver to upshift to the
next gear. The UPSHIFT message will display while
operating the vehicle at higher engine revolutions-per-
minute (RPM).
You can shift in or out of the Autostick ௡ mode at any time
without taking your foot off the accelerator pedal. When
you wish to engage Autostick
௡, simply move the selector
lever to the Right (D+) or Left (D-) while in the D (Drive)
position. The transmission will remain in the current gear
until an upshift or downshift is chosen. When you wish
to disengage Autostick
௡, hold the selector lever to the
right for at least one second. The transmission will now
operate automatically, shifting between the five available
gears.
