Models With AUTOSTICK: Notes

With gearshift lever in "OD" position, transmission shift schedule is same as non-autostick vehicle. When gearshift lever is moved into "A/S" (autostick) position, transaxle remains in same gear until gearshift lever is moved to left (downshift) or right (upshift). Vehicle can be driven from a complete stop in 1st, 2nd or 3rd gear. Shifting 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.
