You can move the shift lever in or out of the AutoStick威
mode at any time without taking your foot off the
accelerator pedal. If you choose the OVERDRIVE mode,
the transmission will operate automatically; shifting be-
tween the four available gears. When you wish to engage
AutoStick威, simply move the shift lever to the AutoStick威
position. The transmission will remain in the current gear
until an upshift or downshift is chosen.
Move the shift lever back to the OVERDRIVE position to
shift out of the AutoStick威 mode.
General Information
•
You can start out in first, second, or third gear. Shifting
into fourth gear can occur only after vehicle speed
reaches 15 mph (24 km/h). The system will ignore
attempts to upshift at too low of a vehicle speed.
•
The transmission will automatically downshift to 1st
gear when coming to a stop.
•
The transmission will automatically upshift from first
to second gear and from second to third gear when
engine speed reaches about 6,300 RPM.
•
Downshifts from third to second gear above 74 mph
(119 km/h) and from second to first gear above
41 mph (66 km/h) will be ignored.
•
Starting out in third gear is helpful in snowy or icy
conditions.
•
While in the AutoStick威 mode, the Electronic Speed
Control will only function in third or fourth gear.
Downshifting out of third gear will turn off the speed
control.
•
Transmission shifting will be more noticeable when
AutoStick威 is engaged.
