If the problem has been momentary, the transmission can
be reset to regain all forward gears.
AUTOSTICK
AutoStickis a driver-interactive transmission that offers
manual gear shifting to provide you with 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,
trailer towing, and many other situations.
Operation
By placing the shift lever in the DRIVE position, it can be
moved from side to side. This allows the driver to select
a higher or lower range of gears. Moving the shift lever to
the left (-) triggers a downshift and to the right (+) an
upshift. The gear position will display in the instrument
cluster on the transmission range indicator. NOTE:
•In AutoStick
mode, the transmission will shift up and
down when the driver manually moves the shift lever
right (D+) or left (D-).
•An “UPSHIFT” message will appear in the Electronic
Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) portion of the in-
strument cluster when using AutoStick. This message
appears in order to alert the driver to upshift to the
next gear. The “UPSHIFT”message will display while
operating the vehicle at higher engine revolutions per
minute (RPM).
You can shift in or out of the AutoStick mode at any
time without taking your foot off the accelerator pedal.
When you wish to engage AutoStick, simply move the
shift lever to the right (D+) or left (D-) while in the DRIVE
position. The transmission will remain in the current gear
until an upshift or downshift is chosen. When you wish
to disengage AutoStick, hold the shift lever to the right

WARNING! (Continued)
•TIREFIT Sealant solution contains latex. In case of
allergic reaction or rash, consult a physician im-
mediately. Keep TIREFIT out of reach of children.
If swallowed, rinse mouth immediately with
plenty of water and drink plenty of water. Do not
induce vomiting! Consult a physician immedi-
ately.
•Use the gloves provided in the Accessory Storage
Compartment (located on the bottom of the air
pump) when operating the TIREFIT kit.
Sealing a Tire with TIREFIT
(A) Whenever You Stop to Use TIREFIT:
1. Pull over to a safe location and turn ON the vehicle’s
Hazard Warning flashers.2. Verify that the valve stem (on the wheel with the
deflated tire) is in a position that is near to the ground.
This will allow the TIREFIT Hoses (6) and (7) to reach the
valve stem and keep the TIREFIT kit flat on the ground.
This will provide the best positioning of the kit when
injecting the sealant into the deflated tire and running the
air pump. Move the vehicle as necessary to place the
valve stem in this position before proceeding.
3. Place the transmission in PARK (auto transmission) or
in Gear (manual transmission) and turn OFF the ignition.
4. Set the parking brake.
(B) Setting Up to Use TIREFIT:
1. Remove the gloves from the Accessory Storage Com-
partment (located on the bottom of the air pump) and
place them on your hands.
2. Turn the Mode Select Knob (5) to the Sealant Mode
position.

3. Uncoil the Sealant Hose (6) and then remove the
yellow cap from the fitting at the end of the hose.
4. Place the TIREFIT kit flat on the ground next to the
deflated tire.
5. Remove the cap from the valve stem and then screw
the fitting at the end of the Sealant Hose (6) onto the
valve stem.
6. Uncoil the Power Plug (8) and then insert the plug into
the vehicle’s 12 Volt power outlet.
NOTE:Do not remove foreign objects (e.g., screws or
nails) from the tire.
(C) Injecting TIREFIT Sealant into the deflated
tire:
•
Always start the engine before turning ON the TIRE-
FIT kit. NOTE:
Manual transmission vehicles must have the
parking brake engaged and the shifter in NEUTRAL.
•After pressing the Power Button (4), the sealant (white
fluid) will flow from the Sealant Bottle (1) through the
Sealant Hose (6) and into the tire.
NOTE: Sealant may leak out through the puncture in
the tire.
If the sealant (white fluid) does not flow within 0 –
10 seconds through the Sealant Hose (6):
1. Press the Power Button (4) to turn OFF the TIREFIT
kit. Disconnect the Sealant Hose (6) from the valve stem.
Make sure the valve stem is free of debris. Reconnect the
Sealant Hose (6) to the valve stem. Check that the Mode
Select Knob (5) is in the sealant mode position and not air
mode. Press the Power Button (4) to turn ON the TIREFIT
kit.
