Page: 511 / 548

STARTING AND OPERATING 49
1. Stop the vehicle.
2. Shift the transmission into PARK, if
possible. If not, shift the transmission to
NEUTRAL.
3. Push and hold the ignition switch until the
engine turns off.
4. Wait approximately 30 seconds.
5. Restart the engine.
6. Shift into the desired gear range. If the
problem is no longer detected, the
transmission will return to normal
operation.
NOTE:
Even if the transmission can be reset, we
recommend that you visit an authorized dealer
at your earliest possible convenience. An autho-
rized dealer has diagnostic equipment to
assess the condition of your transmission.
If the transmission cannot be reset, authorized
dealer service is required.
AutoStick
AutoStick is a driver-interactive transmission
feature providing manual shift control, giving
you more control of the vehicle. AutoStick
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
To activate AutoStick mode, move the gear
selector into the MANUAL (M) position (beside
the DRIVE position). The current transmission
gear will be displayed in the instrument cluster.
In AutoStick mode, you can use the gear
selector (in the MANUAL position) to manually
shift the transmission. Tapping the gear
selector forward (-) while in the MANUAL (M)
position will downshift the transmission to the
next lower gear. Tapping the selector rearward
(+) will command an upshift.
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 downshift
is chosen, except as described below;

The transmission will automatically down-
shift as the vehicle slows (to prevent engine
lugging) and will display the current gear.

The transmission will automatically down-
shift 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 (or THIRD gear, in 4L range).
Tapping (+) (at a stop) will allow starting in
SECOND gear. Starting out in SECOND or
THIRD 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 gear selector in the (-) position
will downshift the transmission to the lowest
gear possible at the current speed.
