AutoStick威/Electronic Range Select (ERS)
Your vehicle may be equipped with AutoStick威 or Elec-
tronic Range Select (ERS) to provide greater driver con-
trol of automatic transmission operation. Refer to
“AutoStick威” in this section.
Electronic Range Select (ERS) – If Equipped
Electronic Range Select (ERS) allows the driver to limit
the highest available transmission gear, providing you
with more control of the vehicle. ERS allows you to
maximize engine braking, eliminate undesirable upshifts,
and improve overall vehicle performance. This system
can also provide you with more control during mountain
driving, trailer towing, and other situations.
ERS Operation
When the shift lever is in the Drive position, the trans-
mission will operate automatically, shifting between the
five available gears. Moving the shift lever to the left (D-)
will activate ERS, downshift the transmission, and dis-
play the top available gear in the instrument cluster. Once
in ERS mode, tapping the shift lever to the left (D-) or
right (D+) will change the top available gear. The trans-
mission will not shift above the indicated gear, but will
shift up and down normally (automatically) through the
lower gears. Holding the shift lever to the left (D-) will
shift the transmission to the lowest gear possible (with-
out overspeeding the engine) for maximum engine brak-
ing. Holding the shift lever to the right (D+) for a few
seconds will disengage ERS mode.
AUTOSTICK姞 — IF EQUIPPED
AutoStick威 is a driver-interactive transmission feature
that offers manual gear shifting to provide you with more
control of the vehicle. AutoStick威 allows you to maximize
engine braking, eliminate undesirable upshifts and
downshifts, 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 situa-
tions.
