When the shift lever is in the AutoStick position (to the left of the Drive position), it can be moved forward and rearward. This allows the driver to manually select the transmission gear being used. Moving the shift lever forward (-) triggers a downshift, and moving it rearward (+) an upshift. The gear position will display in the instrument cluster on the transmission range indicator.

NOTE: In AutoStick mode, the transmission will only shift up or down when the driver moves the shift lever rearward (+) or forward (-), except as noted below.

AutoStick is deactivated when the shift lever is moved out of the AutoStick (+/-) position.
