AUTOSTICK OperationThe AUTOSTICK position is just below the OVERDRIVE
position and is identified by the word “AUTOSTICK”.

the right (+) an upshift. The gear position will be shown
in the transmission gear display, located in the instru-
ment cluster.
You can shift in or out of the AUTOSTICK mode at any

able gears. When you wish to engage AUTOSTICK,
