gear. The DRIVE position provides optimum driving
characteristics under all normal operating conditions.
AutoStickT Gear selection
The transmission gear can be selected by pressing the
shift lever to the right or the left with the shift lever in the
DRIVE position. The gear currently selected is indicated
in the instrument cluster display. Briefly press shift lever
in the “D-” direction. The transmission will shift from the
current gear to the next lower gear. Shifting into another
gear that allows for quicker acceleration or to slow the
vehicle down is possible. Downshifts can also be per-
formed.

transmission will shift from the current gear directly to
the best gear for acceleration.
NOTE: To avoid over-revving the engine when the shift
lever is moved in “D-” direction, the transmission will
not shift to a lower gear if the engine’s revolutions per
minute limit would be exceeded.
Briefly press the shift lever in the “D+” direction. The
transmission will shift from the current gear to the next
higher gear.
Press and hold the shift lever in the “D+” direction. The
