• You can start out, from a stop, in first or second gear.

Tapping (+) (at a stop) will allow starting in second

gear. Starting out in second gear can be helpful in

snowy or icy conditions.

• In models with V6 engine, if the accelerator is fully

depressed, the transmission will downshift when pos-

sible (based on vehicle speed and gear).

• The system will ignore attempts to upshift at too low

of a vehicle speed.

• Transmission shifting will be more noticeable when

AutoStick is engaged.

To exit AutoStick mode, press and release the

AUTOSTICK ON/OFF switch. The transmission will

now operate automatically; shifting between the five

available gears. You can shift in or out of AutoStick mode

at any time without taking your foot off the accelerator

pedal.

Shifting the transmission out of DRIVE will also disable

AutoStick (and it will remain disabled on subsequent

DRIVE engagements). Note, however, that this maneuver

should ONLY be performed at a complete stop, since

DRIVE engagement may be delayed if the vehicle is

moving.

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 a collision or
personal injury.
