LOW — 1st
This range should be used for maximum engine braking
when descending steep grades. In this range, up shifts
will occur only to prevent engine over speed while down
shifts from second to first gear will occur as early as
possible.
AUTOSTICK姞 — IF EQUIPPED
AutoStick威 is a driver-interactive transmission that offers
manual gear-shifting capability to provide you with more
control. AutoStick威 allows you to maximize engine brak-
ing, 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 situations.
Operation
The AutoStick威 position is just below the OVERDRIVE
position and is identified by the word “AutoStick”. When
you move the shift lever into the AutoStick威 position, it
can be moved from side to side. Moving the lever to the
left (-) triggers a downshift and to the right (+) an upshift.
The gear position will be shown in the gear display,
located in the instrument cluster.
NOTE:
•
In AutoStick威 mode, the transmission will only shift
up and down when the driver manually moves the
shift lever right (D+) or left (D-).
•
An UPSHIFT message will appear in the Electronic
Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) portion of the in-
strument cluster. This message appears in order to
alert the driver to upshift to the next gear. The
UPSHIFT message will display while operating the
vehicle at higher engine revolutions per minute
(RPM).
