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. We would like to show you a description here but the site won’t allow us.

OPERATION

The function of an accumulator is to cushion the

application of a frictional clutch element. When pres-
surized fluid is applied to a clutch circuit, the appli-
cation force is dampened by fluid collecting in the
respective accumulator chamber against the piston
and spring(s). The intended result is a smooth, firm
clutch application.

AUTOSTICK SWITCH

DESCRIPTION

Autostick is a driver–interactive transaxle feature

that offers manual gear shifting capability of an
automatic transaxle.

OPERATION

When the shifter is moved into the Autostick posi-

tion, the transaxle remains in whatever gear it was

using before Autostick was activated. Moving the
shifter to the left (towards the driver) causes a down-
shift and moving to the right (towards the passenger)
causes an upshift. The instrument cluster will illumi-
nate the selected gear. The vehicle can be launched
in 1st, 2nd, or 3rd gear while in the Autostick mode.
The speed control is operable in 3rd and 4th gear
Autostick mode. Speed control will be deactivated if
the transaxle is shifted to 2nd gear. Shifting into OD
position cancels the Autostick mode, and the trans-
axle resumes the OD shift schedule.

AUTOMATIC OVERRIDES

For safety, durability, and driveability, some shifts

are executed automatically or prevented.
