In AutoStick mode, the transmission will shift up or down
when (+/-) is manually selected by the driver, unless an
engine lugging or overspeed condition would result. It will
remain in the selected gear until another upshift or down-
shift is chosen, except as described below.
•
If AutoStick is engaged while in DRIVE mode, the
transmission will automatically shift up when maxi-
mum engine speed is reached. If the accelerator is fully
depressed, the transmission will downshift when pos-
sible (based on current vehicle speed and gear). Lack of
accelerator pedal activity will cause the transmission to
revert to automatic operation.
•
If AutoStick is engaged while the transmission gear
selector is in the SPORT position, manual gear selection
will be maintained until the gear selector is returned to
DRIVE, or as described below. The transmission will not
upshift automatically at redline in this mode, nor will
downshifts be obtained if the accelerator pedal is
pressed to the floor.
•
In either DRIVE or SPORT mode, the transmission will
automatically downshift as the vehicle slows (to prevent
engine lugging) and will display the current gear.
•
The transmission will automatically downshift to first
gear when coming to a stop. After a stop, the driver
should manually upshift (+) the transmission as the
vehicle is accelerated.
•
You can start out, from a stop, in first or second gear.
Tapping (+) at a stop will allow starting in second gear.
Starting out in second gear can be helpful in snowy or
icy conditions.
•
If a requested downshift would cause the engine to
over-speed, that shift will not occur.
•
The system will ignore attempts to upshift at too low of
a vehicle speed.
•
Holding the (-) paddle depressed will downshift the
transmission to the lowest gear possible at the current
speed.
•
Transmission shifting will be more noticeable when
AutoStick is enabled.
•
The system may revert to automatic shift mode if a fault
or overheat condition is detected.
