overspeed condition would result. It will remain in the
selected gear until another upshift or downshift is cho-
sen, except as described below.
•
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.
Tapping (+) (at a stop) will allow starting in second
gear. Starting out in second gear is helpful in snowy or
icy conditions.
•
The transmission will automatically upshift when nec-
essary to prevent engine over-speed.
•
If a requested downshift would cause the engine to
over-speed, that shift will not occur.
•
Avoid using speed control when AutoStick威 is engaged.
•
Transmission shifting will be more noticeable when
AutoStick威 is engaged.
•
If the system detects powertrain overheating, the
transmission will revert to automatic shift mode and
remain in that mode until the powertrain cools off.
•
If the system detects a problem, it will disable
AutoStick威 mode and the transmission will return to
the automatic mode until the problem is corrected.
To disengage AutoStick威 mode, return the shift lever to
the DRIVE position. You can shift in or out of the
AutoStick威 position 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.
