shifting.
During low-speed driving conditions in first gear, vehicle momentum changes may feel
exaggerated in response to changes in accelerator pedal position. This behavior is normal
and is similar to vehicles equipped with a manual transmission.

Shifting The Transmission
The transmission shift lever position (PRND) is displayed both on the shift lever and in the
Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC).

the shift lever from PARK or NEUTRAL to the DRIVE position.
Manual shifts can also be made using the AutoStick®shift control.
This transmission is programmed to prevent shifting from Reverse to Drive or Drive to
Reverse, if vehicle speed is above 6 mph (10 km/h). This safety feature helps protect your
transmission from damage.
NOTE:
•Whenstoppedonanincline,itisrecommendedthatyoualwaysholdthevehiclein
place using the brakes. On steep inclines, Hill Start Assist (HSA) will temporarily hold
the car in position when the brake pedal is released. If the accelerator pedal is not
applied after a short time, the car will roll back. Either reapply the brake (to hold the
vehicle) or press the accelerator to climb the hill.

power loss during up-shifts.
