General Information
•
You can launch the vehicle from a stop in any gear
except top gear. The system will ignore attempts to
upshift into top gear at too low of a vehicle speed.
(sixth for six-speed, fourth for four-speed).
•
If a ratio other than first is selected, and the vehicle is
brought to a stop, the transaxle control logic will
automatically select the first gear ratio.
•
Starting out in second gear is helpful in snow or icy
conditions.
•
Avoid using speed control when AutoStick is en-
gaged.
•
The transaxle will automatically shift up when maxi-
mum engine speed is reached while AutoStick is
engaged.
•
Transaxle shifting will be more noticeable when
AutoStick is engaged.
•
If a low range is selected and the engine accelerates to
the rev limit, the transaxle will automatically select the
next higher ratio.
•
If a downshift would cause the engine to over-speed,
that shift will not occur until it is safe for the engine.
