•
For GT models, the transmission will remain in the
selected gear even when maximum engine speed is
reached. The transmission will upshift only when
commanded by the driver. Engine overspeed protec-
tion is provided by the engine controls.
•
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.
•
With 2.0L or 2.4L engine, 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 is helpful in snowy or icy conditions.
•
If a requested downshift would cause the engine to
over-speed, that shift will not occur.
•
Avoid using speed control when AutoStick® is engaged.
•
Transmission shifting will be more noticeable when
AutoStick® is engaged.
•
If the system detects powertrain overheating, the
transmission will revert to automatic shift mode and
remain in that mode until the powertrain cools off.
•
If the system detects a problem, it will disable
AutoStick® mode and the transmission will return to
the automatic mode until the problem is corrected.
To disengage AutoStick® mode, return the shift lever to
the DRIVE position. You can shift in or out of the
AutoStick® position at any time without taking your foot
off the accelerator pedal.
WARNING!
Do not downshift for additional engine braking on a
slippery surface. The drive wheels could lose their
grip and the vehicle could skid, causing a collision or
personal injury.
