24 STARTING AND OPERATING
Operation
In AutoStick mode, you can use the gear selector
(in the SPORT position), or the paddle shifters, to
manually shift the transmission. To activate
AutoStick mode, move the gear selector into the
SPORT (S) position (beside the DRIVE position), or
tap one of the paddle shifters on the steering
wheel. Tapping the (-) paddle shifter to enter
AutoStick mode will downshift the transmission to
the next lower gear, while tapping (+) to enter
AutoStick mode will retain the current gear. The
current transmission gear will be displayed in the
instrument cluster.
NOTE:
The paddle shifters may be disabled (or
re-enabled, as desired) using Drive Modes.
AutoStick mode has the following operational
benefits:

The transmission will automatically downshift
as the vehicle slows (to prevent engine lugging)
and will display the current gear.

The transmission will automatically downshift 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 4WD LOW
range, SNOW mode). 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 overspeed, that shift will not occur.

The system will ignore attempts to upshift at too
low of a vehicle speed.

Holding the (-) paddle pressed, or 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 or Hill Descent Control is
enabled, AutoStick is not active.
To disengage AutoStick, return the gear selector to
the DRIVE position, or press and hold the (+)
paddle shifter (and the gear selector is already in
DRIVE) until "D" is once again indicated in the
instrument cluster. You can shift in or out of
AutoStick 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 vehicle could skid,
causing a collision or personal injury.
