AutoStick姞 Operation
By placing the shift lever one shift-level below the DRIVE
position, it can be moved from side to side. This allows
the driver to select a higher or lower range of gears.
Moving the shift lever to the Left (-) triggers a downshift
and to the Right (+) an upshift. The gear position will
display in the instrument cluster on the transaxle range
indicator.
NOTE: In Autostick威 mode, the transaxle will only shift
up or down when the driver moves the shift lever to the
Right (+) or Left (-).
AutoStick威 is deactivated when the shift lever is moved
out of the AutoStick (+/-) position.
AutoStick姞 General Information
•
You can start out in 1st or 2nd gear. The system will
ignore attempts to upshift at too low of a vehicle
speed.
•
If a ratio other than 1st is selected, and the vehicle is
brought to a stop, the transaxle control logic will
automatically select the 1st gear ratio.
•
Starting out in 2nd gear is helpful in snow or icy
conditions.
•
Avoid using speed control when Autostick威 is en-
gaged.
•
The transaxle will automatically shift up when maxi-
mum engine speed is reached while Autostick威 is
engaged.
•
Transaxle shifting will be more noticeable when
Autostick威 is engaged.
