Operation
By placing the selector lever one shift-level below the
ЉDЉ
(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
transaxle range indicator.
NOTE: In Autostick ௡ mode, the transaxle will only shift
up or down when the driver moves the selector lever to
the Right (+) or Left (-).
AutoStick
௡ is deactivated when the lever is shifted from
the AutoStick (+/-) position into the Drive ”D” position.

General Information
• You can start out in first or second gear. The system
will ignore attempts to upshift at too low of a vehicle
speed.
• If a ratio other than 1st is selected, and the vehicle is
brought to a stop, the transaxle control logic will
automatically select the 1st gear ratio.
• Starting out in second gear is helpful in snowy or icy
conditions.
• Avoid using speed control when Autostick௡ is en-
gaged.
• The transaxle will automatically shift up when maxi-
mum engine speed is reached while Autostick ௡ is
engaged.
