An UPSHIFT message will appear in the Electronic
Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) portion of your instru-
ment cluster when using Autostick. This message ap-
pears in order to alert the driver to upshift to the next
gear. The UPSHIFT message will display while operating
the vehicle at higher engine revolutions–per–minute
(RPM).
Shifting into or out of the autostick mode can be done at
any time without taking your foot off the accelerator
pedal. When the driver wishes to engage autostick,
simply move the shift lever to the Left or Right (D-/D+)
position while in DRIVE.
Hold the shift lever to the right for at least one second to
disengage autostick. The transmission will now operate
automatically; shifting between the five available gears.
