NOTE:
In AutoStick
威
mode, the transmission will only
shift up or down when the driver moves the shift lever to
the right (+) or left (-), except as noted below. AutoStick
威
is deactivated when the shift lever is moved out of the
AutoStick
威
(+/-) position.
General Information
•
You can launch the vehicle from a stop in any gear
except top gear. The system will ignore attempts to
upshift into top gear at too low of a vehicle speed.
•
If a ratio other than first is selected, and the vehicle is
brought to a stop, the transmission control logic will
automatically select the first gear ratio.
•
Starting out in second gear is helpful in snow or icy
conditions. To select second gear after the vehicle is
brought to a stop, tap the shift lever to the right (+)
once.
•
Avoid using speed control when AutoStick
威
is en-
gaged.
•
Transmission shifting will be more noticeable when
AutoStick
威
is engaged.
•
If a downshift would cause the engine to over-speed,
that shift will not occur until it is safe for the engine.
•
The transmission will automatically upshift when nec-
essary to prevent engine over-speed.
•
Mostly the transmission will stay in the manually
selected ratio, however:
− If the system detects powertrain overheating, the
transmission will revert to the automatic shift mode
and remain in that mode until the powertrain cools off.
− If the system detects a problem, it will disable the
AutoStick
威
mode and the transmission will return to
the automatic mode until the problem is corrected.
