Autostick Paddle Shifters
When the gear selector is in the DRIVE position,
the transmission will operate automatically, shift-
ing between the eight available gears.
To engage AutoStick, tap one of the steering
wheel-mounted AutoStick Paddle Shifters (+/–).
Tapping (–) to enter AutoStick will downshift the
transmission to the next lower gear while using (+)
to enter AutoStick will retain the current gear.
When AutoStick is active, the current transmis-
sion gear is displayed in the instrument cluster.
In AutoStick, the transmission will shift up or
down when (+/–) is selected by the driver (using
the shift paddles) unless an engine lugging or
overspeed condition would result. It will remain in
the selected gear until another upshift or down-
shift is chosen, except as described below:
• In AutoStick, the transmission will remain in
the selected gear even when maximum engine
speed is reached. The transmission will upshift
only when commanded by the driver.
• 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 upshift (+) the transmission
as the vehicle is accelerated.
• You can start out in first or second gear. Tap-
ping (+) (at a stop) will allow starting in second
gear. Starting out in second gear is helpful in
snowy or icy conditions.
• The system will ignore an attempt to upshift at
too low of a vehicle speed.
• Transmission shifting will be more noticeable
when paddle shift mode is engaged.
• To disengage Autostick, press and hold the (+)
shift paddle until “D” is once again displayed
in the instrument cluster. You can shift in or out
of the paddle shift mode at any time without
taking your foot off the accelerator pedal.

The shift paddles may be disabled (or re-enabled,
as desired) using the Uconnect Personal Settings.
