AutoStick ௡ allows you to move the shift lever to the left
(-) or right (+) when the shift lever is in the DRIVE
position, this allows the selection of the desired top gear.
For example, if you shift the transmission into third gear,
the transmission will never shift above third gear, but can
shift down to second or first gear automatically, when
needed.
Operation
Switching from AutoStick
௡ to DRIVE can be done at any
vehicle speed. To shift from DRIVE mode to AutoStick ௡
mode, move the shift lever to the left (-) once. The current
gear will be maintained as the top gear. To disable
AutoStick
௡, simply press and hold the shift lever to the
right (+) until ЉDЉ is displayed in the instrument cluster
odometer.
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 an accident
or personal injury.
NOTE: To select the proper gear position for maximum
deceleration (engine braking), simply press and hold the
shift lever to the left (-). The transmission will shift to the
range from which the vehicle can best be slowed down.
