The automated manual transmission is a conventional
six-speed manual transmission with an electronically-
controlled hydraulic system that controls the clutch and
gear shifting. In forward gears, this transmission offers two
modes of operation:
•
MANUAL (M) Mode — where the driver controls the
transmission shifting.
•
Automatic Mode (the DRIVE [D] position) — where
the electronic system controls the gear shifts.
NOTE: In either mode, there is no clutch pedal; the
electronic system always controls the clutch operation.
Gear Selector/Transmission Gear Position
The transmission gear selector has REVERSE (R), NEU-
TRAL (N), DRIVE (D) and MANUAL (M) positions.
In the MANUAL (M) position, the lever can be toggled
rearward or forward (+/-) to upshift or downshift the
transmission to the next gear.
With the key ON and the engine OFF the gear selector can
be moved freely from NEUTRAL (N) to DRIVE (D) or
REVERSE (R), however the transmission will not actually
shift unless the brake pedal is pressed. Therefore, the gear
selector and the instrument cluster display may not corre-
spond to the actual transmission gear range. With the
engine running transmission shifts are allowed even if the
brake pedal is not pressed.
NOTE:
•
The Automated Manual Transmission must be in NEU-
TRAL (N) to start the vehicle.
•
The actual transmission gear range (R, N, D, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5,
or 6) is displayed in the instrument cluster display
whenever the engine is running.
•
When the key is turned OFF the transmission remains in
its previous gear position, regardless of the gear selector
position.
•
When the key is turned ON (engine off), the instrument
cluster display may indicate the gear selector position
rather than the actual transmission gear position.
To shift the transmission to a particular gear range (with
key ON/engine off), press and hold the brake pedal, move
the gear selector to NEUTRAL (N), then move the gear
selector to the desired position.
