Optional Shifter With AutoStick

The optional shift lever (with AutoStick shift paddles mounted on the steering wheel) provides PARK, REVERSE, NEUTRAL, DRIVE, and SPORT shift positions.

Once in the DRIVE range, tapping the shift lever rearward will toggle between SPORT mode and DRIVE mode. You do not need to press the shift lever button when toggling between DRIVE and SPORT modes.

Manual shifts can be made using the AutoStick shift control (refer to “AutoStick ” in this section). Pressing the shift paddles (-/+) while in the DRIVE or SPORT position will manually select the transmission gear, and will display the current gear in the instrument cluster as 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
