You can shift in or out of the Autostick mode at any time
without taking your foot off the accelerator pedal. When
you wish to engage Autostick, simply move the shift
lever to the right (D+) or left (D-) while in the DRIVE
position. The transmission will remain in the current gear
until an upshift or downshift is chosen. When you wish
to disengage Autostick, hold the shift lever to the right
for at least one second. The transmission will now
operate automatically, shifting between the five available
gears.

DRIVING ON SLIPPERY SURFACES
Acceleration
Rapid acceleration on snow covered, wet, or other slip-
pery surfaces may cause the rear wheels to pull errati-
cally to the right or left. This phenomenon occurs when
there is a difference in the surface traction under the rear
(driving) wheels.
