AUTOSTICK
姞
— IF EQUIPPED
AutoStick
威
is a driver-interactive transmission feature
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 situa-
tions.
Operation – 3.6L Engine
When the transmission is in DRIVE or SPORT mode, it
will operate automatically, shifting between the eight
available gears. To engage AutoStick
威
, simply tap one of
the steering wheel-mounted shift paddles (+/-) while in
DRIVE or SPORT mode. When AutoStick
威
is active, the
current transmission gear is displayed in the instrument
cluster. In AutoStick
威
mode, the transmission will only
shift up or down when (+/-) is manually selected by the
driver, except as described below. It will remain in the
selected gear until another upshift or downshift is cho-
sen.
