AutoStick (CVT) — If Equipped
AutoStick is a driver-interactive transmission
feature providing six manually selectable
gear ratios, giving you more control of the
vehicle. AutoStick allows you to maximize
engine braking, eliminate undesirable up-
shifts and downshifts, and improve overall
vehicle performance. This system can also
provide you with more control during passing,
city driving, cold slippery conditions, moun-
tain driving, trailer towing, and many other
situations.
Operation
NOTE:
AutoStick is not available until the CVT
warms up in cold weather.
When the gear selector is in the DRIVE posi-
tion, AutoStick is activated by moving the
gear selector side-to-side. Moving the gear
selector
to
the
right
(+)
will
activate
AutoStick and shift up to the next higher
manual ratio, unless you are already operat-
ing in or near Overdrive, in which case sixth
gear ratio will be selected. In like manner,
moving the gear selector to the left (-) will
activate AutoStick and shift to the next lower
manual ratio. The manually-selected gear
will be displayed in the instrument cluster.
In AutoStick mode, the transmission will
shift up or down when (+/-) is manually se-
lected 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 up-
shift when necessary to prevent engine
over-speed.
• The transmission will automatically down-
shift as the vehicle slows (to prevent en-
gine 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.
• If a requested downshift would cause the
engine to overspeed, that shift will not
occur.
• Transmission shifting will be more notice-
able when AutoStick is engaged.
• Heavy Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) ap-
plication will disengage AutoStick mode.
• The system may revert to automatic shift
mode if a fault or overheat condition is
detected.
To disengage AutoStick mode, hold the gear
selector to the right (+) until “D” is once
again displayed in the instrument cluster.
You can shift in or out of the AutoStick mode
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 ve-
hicle could skid, causing a collision or
personal injury.
