AUTOSTICK

— IF EQUIPPED

Autostick

௡ is a driver-interactive transmission that offers

manual gear shifting to provide you with more control of
the vehicle. Autostick

௡ allows you to maximize engine

braking, eliminate undesirable upshifts and downshifts,
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.

Autostick

Operation

By placing the selector lever in the D (Drive) position, it
can be moved from side to side. This allows the driver to
select a higher or lower range of gears. Moving the
selector lever to the Left (-) triggers a downshift and to

the Right (+) an upshift. The gear position will display in
the instrument cluster on the transmission range indica-
tor.

You can shift in or out of the Autostick

௡ mode at any time

without taking your foot off the accelerator pedal. If you
choose the Overdrive mode, the transmission will oper-
ate automatically, shifting between the five available
gears. When you wish to engage Autostick

௡, simply

move the selector lever to the Right or Left (D+/D-) while
in the D (Drive) position. The transmission will remain in
the current gear until an upshift or downshift is chosen.

ALL WHEEL DRIVE — IF EQUIPPED

with Anti-lock Brake System (ABS)/Traction Control.
The front wheels provide 38% of the torque, and the rear
wheels provide 62% of the torque. The system is auto-
matic with no driver inputs or additional driving skills
