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.
An “UPSHIFT” message will appear in the Electronic
Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) portion of the in-
strument cluster when using AutoStick, to alert the
driver to upshift to the next gear. The “UPSHIFT”
message will appear when approaching the maximum
engine speed.
WARNING!
Do not downshift for additional engine braking on a
slippery surface. The drive wheels could lose their
grip and the vehicle could skid, causing a collision or
personal injury.
Auto
If AutoStick is engaged while in “Auto” mode, the
transmission will automatically shift up if maximum
engine speed is reached.
