The Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) may be illumi-
nated. A message in the instrument cluster will inform
the driver of the more serious conditions, and indicate
what actions may be necessary.
In the event of a momentary problem, the transmission
can be reset to regain all forward gears by performing
the following steps:
NOTE:
In cases where the instrument cluster message indi-
cates the transmission may not re-engage after engine
shutdown, perform this procedure only in a desired
location (preferably, at an authorized dealer).
1. Stop the vehicle.
2. Shift the transmission into PARK, if possible. If not,
shift the transmission to NEUTRAL.
3. Push and hold the ignition switch until the engine
turns off.
4. Wait approximately 30 seconds.
5. Restart the engine.
6. Shift into the desired gear range. If the problem is
no longer detected, the transmission will return to
normal operation.
NOTE:
Even if the transmission can be reset, we recommend
that you visit an authorized dealer at your earliest pos-
sible convenience. An authorized dealer has diagnostic
equipment to assess the condition of your transmis-
sion. If the transmission cannot be reset, authorized
dealer service is required.
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, eliminate undesirable upshifts and downshifts,
and improve overall vehicle performance. This system
can also provide you with more control during passing,
city driving, cold slippery conditions, mountain driving,
trailer towing, and many other situations.
Operation
In AutoStick mode, you can use the gear selector (in the
MANUAL position), or the shift paddles to the MANUAL
(M) position (beside the DRIVE (D) position), or tap one
of the shift paddles on the steering wheel. Tapping the
(-) shift paddle 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:
•
Tapping one of the steering wheel-mounted shift
paddles (+/-) (if equipped), while the gear selector is
in DRIVE, will activate a temporary AutoStick mode.
Tapping (-) to enter AutoStick mode will downshift
the transmission to the next lower gear, while tap-
ping (+) to enter AutoStick mode will retain the cur-
rent gear. The current gear will be displayed in the
instrument cluster, but the “M” will not be high-
lighted. The transmission will revert back to normal
operation (if the gear selector remains in DRIVE)
after a period of time, depending on accelerator
pedal activity.
•
In some models, the shift paddles may be disabled
(or re-enabled, as desired) using Drive Mode Set-Up,
accessed by selecting Performance Control.
In AutoStick mode, the transmission will shift up or
down when (+/-) is manually selected by the driver
(using the gear selector, or the shift paddles
[if equipped]), 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 follows:
•
In temporary AutoStick mode (gear selector in
DRIVE), the transmission will automatically shift up
when maximum engine speed is reached. If the
accelerator is fully pressed, the transmission will
downshift when possible. Lack of accelerator pedal
activity will cause the transmission to revert to auto-
matic operation.
•
If normal AutoStick mode is engaged (gear selector
in MANUAL position), manual gear selection will be
maintained until the gear selector is returned to
DRIVE, or as described in the following conditions.
