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 (+/-). Tapping (-) to enter

AutoStick® mode will downshift the transmission to the

next lower gear, while using (+) to enter AutoStick®

mode will retain the current gear. When AutoStick® is

active, the current transmission gear is displayed in the

Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) portion of

the instrument cluster. In AutoStick® mode, the trans-

mission will shift up or down when (+/-) is manually

selected by the driver (using the shift lever, or the shift

paddles), unless an engine lugging or overspeed condi-

tion would result. It will remain in the selected gear until

another upshift or downshift is chosen, except as de-

scribed below.

• If AutoStick® is engaged while in DRIVE mode, the

transmission will automatically shift up when maxi-

mum engine speed is reached.
