• 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.
