instrument cluster. Move the gear selector to
the right (into the DRIVE [D] position) for
access to PARK, REVERSE, and NEUTRAL.
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, elim -
inate undesirable upshifts and downshifts,
and improve overall vehicle performance.
This system can also provide you with more
control during passing, city driving, cold slip -
pery 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 (-) posi -
tion will downshift the transmission to the
lowest gear possible at the current speed.

Transmission shifting will be more notice -
able when AutoStick is enabled.

The system may revert to automatic shift
mode if a fault or overheat condition is
detected.
NOTE:
When Hill Descent Control is enabled, Auto -
Stick 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 acceler -
ator 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.
