AUTOSTICK®
• AutoStick®is a driver-interactive transmission that offers six manual ratio changes
to provide you with more control. The system is activated in the DRIVE position by
moving the shift lever side-to-side.
• Moving the shift lever to the right (+) side will activate AutoStick
®and shift up to
the next higher manual ratio, unless you are already operating in or near Overdrive,
in which case sixth gear ratio will be selected. The transmission will automatically
shift up when maximum engine speed is reached while Autostick
®is engaged.
• Moving the shift lever to the left (-) will activate AutoStick®and shift to the next
lower manual ratio. If a downshift would cause the engine to over-speed, that shift
will not occur until it is safe for the engine.
NOTE: AutoStick
®is not functional until the CVT warms up in cold weather.
AutoStick®is deactivated:
• By holding the shift lever to (+) momentarily.
• When the shift lever is shifted out of DRIVE.
• When in sixth position, touching the shift lever to the right.
• When heavy Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) application is detected.
• Refer to the Owner's Manual on the DVD for complete details.
MANUAL CLIMATE CONTROLS
Air Recirculation
• Use recirculation for maximum A/C operation.
• For window defogging, turn the recirculation button off.

WARNING!
To avoid serious injury or death: Do not use a three-prong adaptor. Do not insert
any objects into the receptacles. Do not touch with wet hands. Close the lid
when not in use. If this outlet is mishandled, it may cause an electric shock
and failure.
POWER OUTLET
• The power outlet is located on the instrument panel below the climate control andis powered when the ignition switch is in the ON/RUN position.
• The outlet can operate a conventional cigar lighter unit or power accessories designed for use with a standard power outlet adapter.
NOTE:
• Do not exceed the maximum power of 160 Watts (13 Amps) at 12 Volts. If the 160 Watt (13 Amp) power rating is exceeded, the fuse protecting the system will need to
be replaced.
• Power outlets are designed for accessory 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 damage not covered by your warranty.
