If the transmission cannot be reset, see your authorized
dealer.

NOTE:

Even if the transmission can be reset, we recom-

mend that you visit your authorized dealer at your
earliest possible convenience. Your authorized dealer has
diagnostic equipment to determine if the problem could
recur.

Have the transmission checked at your authorized dealer
as soon as possible.

AUTOSTICK

AutoStick

௡ is a driver-interactive transmission feature

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 situa-
tions.

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

move the shift lever to the right or left (D+/D-) while in
the DRIVE position. When AutoStick

௡ is active, the

current transmission gear is displayed in the instrument
cluster. In AutoStick

௡ mode, the transmission will only

shift up and down when right or left (+/-) is manually
selected by the driver, or as described below. It will
remain in the selected gear until another upshift or
downshift is chosen.

Fully pressing the accelerator pedal while in AutoStick

mode will downshift the transmission as needed for
maximum acceleration (3.6L Models Only).
