AUTOSTICK®

Steering Wheel Mounted Paddle Shifters Or Console Mounted Shifter

•AutoStick®isadriver-interactivetrans-

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 driving,

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) por-

tion 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:
