STARTING AND OPERATING
Holding the gear selector in the (-) position will
downshift the transmission to the lowest gear
possible at the current speed.
Transmission shifting will be more noticeable
when AutoStick is enabled.
The system may revert to automatic shift mode
if a fault or overheat condition is detected.
NOTE:
When Selec-Speed Control is enabled, AutoStick is
not active.
To disengage AutoStick mode, return the gear
selector 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.
REFUELING THE VEHICLE
1. Put the vehicle in the PARK position.
2. Push the fuel filler door release button
(located below the headlight switch).

3. Pushing the button will initiate a sequence of
events to depressurize the fuel system. A

vehicle is ready to be fueled.

NOTE:
After pushing the release button you will
have 20 minutes to fuel the vehicle; beyond
20 minutes you will need to push the
release button again.
The fuel door should take 15 seconds to
open under normal conditions. It may take
longer to open in some situations, such as
high ambient temperatures.
If you hear a hissing sound when the fuel
cap is removed, wait to begin fueling the
vehicle until after the hissing sound stops.
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.
