AUTOSTICK®
Steering Wheel Mounted Paddle Shifters Or Console Mounted Shifter
• AutoStick® is a driver-interactive trans-
mission feature that offers manual gear
shifting to provide you with more control
of the vehicle. AutoStick® allows you to
maximize engine braking, and improve
overall vehicle performance.
• This system can also provide you with more control during passing, city driving,
cold slippery conditions, mountain driv-
ing, trailer towing, and many other
situations.
Operation
• When the shift lever is in the DRIVE posi-tion, the transmission will operate auto-
matically, shifting between the five avail-
able gears. To engage AutoStick®, simply move the shift lever to the right or left (+/-)
while in the DRIVE position, or press one of the steering wheel mounted shift paddles
(+/-). When AutoStick® is active, the current transmission gear is displayed in the
Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) portion of the instrument cluster. In
AutoStick® mode, the transmission will shift when manually selected by the driver (using
the shift lever, or the shift paddles), 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:• The transmission will automatically downshift as the vehicle slows (to prevent engine
lugging) and will display the current gear.
• The transmission will automatically downshift to first gear when coming to a stop.
• You can start out in first or second gear. Tapping (+) (at a stop) will allow starting in second gear. Starting out in second gear is helpful in snowy or icy conditions.
• The system will ignore attempts to upshift at too low of a vehicle speed.
•
Transmission shifting will be more noticeable when AutoStick® is engaged. To disengage
AutoStick® mode, hold the shift lever to the right or press and hold the (+) shift paddle until
“D” is once again displayed 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.
