AUTOSTICK®
Steering Wheel Mounted Paddle Shifters Or Console Mounted Shifter
• 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,
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 situations.
Operation • When the shift lever is in the DRIVE position, the transmission will operateautomatically, shifting between the five available gears. To engage AutoStick
®,
simply move the shift lever to the right or left (+/-) while in the DRIVE position, or
press one of the steering wheel mounted shift paddles (+/-). When AutoStick
®is
active, the current transmission gear is displayed in the Electronic Vehicle
Information Center (EVIC) portion of the instrument cluster. In AutoStick
®mode,
the transmission will shift when manually selected by the driver (using the shift
lever, or the shift paddles), unless an engine lugging or overspeed condition would
result. It will remain in the selected gear until another upshift or downshift is
chosen, except as described below:
• The transmission will automatically downshift as the vehicle slows (to prevent engine lugging) and will display the current gear.
• The transmission will automatically downshift to first gear when coming to a stop.
• You can start out in first or second gear. Tapping (+) (at a stop) will allow starting in second gear. Starting out in second gear is helpful in snowy or icy conditions.
• 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
disengage AutoStick®mode, hold the shift lever to the right or press and hold the
(+) shift paddle until “D” is once again displayed in the instrument cluster. You
can shift in or out of the AutoStick
®mode at any time without taking your foot off
the accelerator pedal.
• An “UPSHIFT” message will appear in the Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) portion of the instrument cluster when using AutoStick
®, to alert the driver
to upshift to the next gear. The “UPSHIFT” message will appear when
approaching the maximum engine speed.
