STARTING AND OPERATING
The electronically-controlled transmission
provides a precise shift schedule. The
transmission electronics are self-calibrating;
therefore, the first few shifts on a new vehicle
may be somewhat abrupt. This is a normal
condition, and precision shifts will develop
within a few hundred miles/kilometers.
Only shift from DRIVE to PARK or REVERSE
when the accelerator pedal is released and the
vehicle is stopped. Be sure to keep your foot on
the brake pedal when shifting between these
gears.
This transmission is programmed to prevent
shifting from REVERSE to DRIVE or DRIVE to
REVERSE, if vehicle speed is above 6 mph
(10 km/h). This safety feature helps protect
your transmission from damage.
The transmission gear selector provides PARK,
REVERSE, NEUTRAL, DRIVE, and AutoStick (+/-)
shift positions. Manual shifts can be made
using the AutoStick shift control. Moving the
gear selector into the AutoStick (+/-) position
(beside the DRIVE position) activates AutoStick
mode, providing manual shift control and
displaying the current gear in the instrument
cluster (as 1, 2, 3, etc.). Toggling the gear
selector forward (-) or rearward (+) while in the
AutoStick position will manually select the
transmission gear.
NOTE:
If the gear selector cannot be moved to the
PARK, REVERSE, or NEUTRAL position (when
pushed forward) it is probably in the AutoStick
(+/-) position (beside the DRIVE position).
In AutoStick mode, the transmission gear
(1, 2, 3, etc.) is displayed in the instrument
cluster. Move the gear selector to the right (into
the DRIVE [D] position) for access to PARK,
REVERSE, and NEUTRAL.

ANGES
Do not press the accelerator pedal when
shifting from PARK or NEUTRAL into another
gear range.
NOTE:
After selecting any gear range, wait a moment
to allow the selected gear to engage before
accelerating. This is especially important when
the engine is cold.
