lever rearward a second time will return the vehicle to the “D” Drive position.

Autostick®
•Autostick® is only available on sport
equipped vehicles.
• When the transmission is in DRIVE, it will operate automatically, shifting between
the eight available gears. While in SPORT
mode, the transmission will only shift be-
tween 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 cho-
sen.
• 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 transmis-
sion 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.
