Models With AUTOSTICK

With gearshift in "OD" position, transmission shift schedule is same as non-autostick vehicle. When gearshift is moved into "A/S" (autostick) position, transaxle remains in same gear until gearshift handle is moved to left (downshift) or right (upshift). Vehicle can be driven from complete stop in 1st, 2nd or 3rd gear. Shift into "OD" position cancels autostick mode and transaxle resumes OD shift schedule. For safety, durability and driveability, some shifts are executed automatically or prevented. See AUTOSTICK OVERRIDE SHIFT  SCHEDULE table.
