The electronically-controlled transmission provides a
precise shift schedule. The transmission electronics are
self-calibrating; therefore, the first few shifts on a new
vehicle may be somewhat abrupt. This is a normal
condition, and precision shifts will develop within a few
hundred miles (kilometers).
Only shift from DRIVE to PARK or REVERSE when the
accelerator pedal is released and the vehicle is stopped.
Be sure to keep your foot on the brake pedal when
shifting between these gears.
The transmission shift lever has PARK, REVERSE, NEU-
TRAL, DRIVE, and AutoStick shift positions. Manual
shifts can be made using the AutoStick shift control (refer
to “AutoStick” in this section for further information).
Moving the shift lever into the AutoStick (+/-) position
(beside the DRIVE position) activates AutoStick mode,
providing manual shift control and displaying the cur-
rent gear in the instrument cluster (as 1, 2, 3, etc).
Toggling the shift lever forward (-) or rearward (+) while
in the Autostick position will manually select the trans-
mission gear.
