The center console 12 Volt power outlet is powered directly from the battery (power
available at all times). Items plugged into this outlet may discharge the battery and/or
prevent the engine from starting.
NOTE:
•Donotexceedthemaximumpowerof
160 Watts (13 Amps) at 12 Volts. If the
160 Watt (13 Amp) power rating is ex-
ceeded, the fuse protecting the system
will need to be replaced.
•Poweroutletsaredesignedforaccessory
plugs only. Do not insert any other object
in the power outlet as this will damage
the outlet and blow the fuse. Improper
use of the power outlet can cause dam-
age not covered by your new vehicle
warranty.

AUTOSTICK
Steering Wheel Mounted Paddle Shifters Or Console Mounted Shifter
AutoStick is a driver-interactive transmission feature providing manual shift control,
giving you 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, and many other situations.
Operation
When the shift lever is in the DRIVE (D) position, the transmission will operate automati-
cally, shifting between the eight available gears. To activate AutoStick, move the shift lever
into the MANUAL (M) position (beside the DRIVE position). The current transmission gear
will be displayed in the instrument cluster, along with a highlighted "M" (Manual)
indication. When the shift lever is in the MANUAL (M) position, tap the shift lever forward
(-) (or tap the (-) shift paddle on the steering wheel, if equipped) to downshift the
transmission to the next lower gear, or tap the lever rearward (+) (or tap the (+) shift
paddle, if equipped) to command an upshift.
NOTE:
Ta p p i n g o n e o f t h e s t e e r i n g w h e e l - m o u n t e d s h i f t p a d d l e s ( + / - ) , i f e q u i p p e d , w h i l e t h e s h i f t
lever is in DRIVE, will activate a temporary AutoStick mode. Tapping (-) to enter AutoStick
mode will downshift the transmission to the next lower gear, while using (+) to enter
AutoStick mode will retain the current gear. The current gear will be displayed in the
instrument cluster, but the "M" will not be highlighted. The transmission will revert back
to normal operation (if the shift lever remains in DRIVE) after a period of time, depending
on accelerator pedal activity.
In AutoStick mode, the transmission will shift up or down when (+/-) is manually selected
by the driver (using the shift lever, or the shift paddles [if equipped]), 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.
•IntemporaryAutoStickmode(shiftleverinDRIVE),thetransmissionwillautomatically
shift up when maximum engine speed is reached. If the accelerator is fully depressed,
the transmission will downshift when possible (based on current vehicle speed and
gear). Lack of accelerator pedal activity will cause the transmission to revert to
automatic operation.
•IfnormalAutoStickmodeisengaged(shiftleverinMANUALposition),manualgear
selection will be maintained until the shift lever is returned to DRIVE, or as described
below. The transmission will not upshift automatically at redline in this mode, nor will
downshifts be obtained if the accelerator pedal is pressed to the floor.

hold the (+) shift paddle (if equipped, and the shift lever is already in DRIVE) until “D” is
once again indicated 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.
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 a collision or personal injury.
