— 5.7L Engine
Autostick
威
is a driver-interactive transmission that offers
manual gear shifting to provide you with more control of
the vehicle. Autostick
威
allows you to maximize engine
braking, 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
By placing the shift lever in the “D” (Drive) position, it
can be moved from side to side. This allows the driver to
select a specific gear. 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
transmission range indicator.
NOTE:
In Autostick
威
mode, the transmission will only
shift up or down when the driver moves the shift lever to
the right (D+) or left (D-).
You can shift in or out of the Autostick
威
mode at any time
without taking your foot off the accelerator pedal. When
you wish to engage Autostick
威
, simply move the shift
lever to the left or right (D-/D+) while in the “D” (Drive)
position. To disengage Autostick
威
, hold the shift lever to
the right for at least one second. The transmission will
now operate automatically, shifting between the five
available gears.
•
You can start out in first or second gear. The system
will ignore attempts to upshift at too low of a vehicle
speed.
•
The transmission will automatically downshift to first
gear when coming to a stop.
