AUTOSTICK®
• When the transmission is in DRIVE, it willoperate automatically, shifting between
the eight available gears. While in SPORT
mode, the transmission will only shift
between seven of the eight available
gears.
• To engage AutoStick®, simply tap one of the steering wheel-mounted shift paddles
(+/-).
• In AutoStick® mode, the transmission will only shift up or down when (+/-) is
manually selected by the driver, except as
described below. It will remain in the
selected gear until another upshift or
downshift is chosen.
• When AutoStick® is active, the current transmission gear is displayed in the EVIC.
• If AutoStick® is engaged while in DRIVE mode, lack of accelerator pedal activity will cause the transmission to revert to automatic operation. The transmission will also upshift
automatically once redline, (where the tachometer needle points to the red portion of the
gauge) is reached. If the accelerator is pressed to the floor, the transmission will downshift
when possible (based on current vehicle speed and gear).
• When AutoStick® is used in SPORT mode, the transmission will only shift up or down when commanded by the driver, except as noted below.
• In either DRIVE or SPORT mode, the transmission will automatically downshift as the vehicle slows to a stop (to prevent engine lugging) and will display the current gear.
Tapping the (+) paddle (at a stop) will allow starting in second gear. After a stop, the
driver should manually upshift (+) the transmission as the vehicle accelerates.
NOTE:To disengage AutoStick® mode, press and hold the (+) shift paddle until “D” or “S” is
once again displayed in the EVIC. You can shift in or out of the AutoStick® mode at any time
without taking your foot off the accelerator pedal.
