gear, while using (+) to enter AutoStick® mode will

retain the current gear. When AutoStick® is active, the

current transmission gear is displayed in the instrument

cluster. 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 de-

scribed below.

• If AutoStick® is engaged while in DRIVE mode, the

transmission will automatically shift up when maxi-

mum engine speed is reached. If the accelerator is fully

depressed, the transmission will downshift when pos-

sible (based on current vehicle speed and gear). Lack

of accelerator pedal activity will cause the transmis-

sion to revert to automatic operation.

• If AutoStick® is engaged while in SPORT mode,

manual gear selection will be maintained until either

SPORT mode is exited or as described below. The

transmission will not upshift automatically at redline

in this mode, nor will downshifts be obtained if the

accelerator pedal is pressed to the floor.

• In either DRIVE or SPORT mode, the transmission will

automatically downshift as the vehicle slows to a stop

(to prevent engine lugging) and will display the cur-

rent gear. Tapping the (+) paddle (at a stop) will allow

starting in second gear. After a stop, the driver should

manually upshift (+) the transmission as the vehicle

accelerates.

• 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.
