Autostick Question?
Autostick Question?
Hello All,
I don't drive this car often but had to take it to work today and have a question about the autostick. Seems very sensitive, wants to go back into drive. If I hold it in - it will revert to 1st and stay there till I shift. Just seems like it jumps around a lot and favors drive. Sometimes shifting it will jump up to drive? I will probably never use this feature as the auto does a great job but I was just wondering how it's suppose to work and how everyone else uses it. Thanks All!

Re: Autostick Question?
I suspect it is how you are holding the shift lever when you are using the Autostick. If you hold it to the right it switches back to Drive, it dows't take a long time for it to switch back.
It only takes a quick tap to manually shift it, not the push it into gear kind of motion you would use with a conventional manual transmission.

Re: Autostick Question?
probably has nothing to do with your problem, but I was having problems "bumping" my stick when I started the car. I'd put it in gear and not realise I'd downshifted a gear or 2.
I've simply gotten in the habbit ot tapping the stick to the right 1 or 2X everytime I put it in D gear to insure it is in D. Create a habbit to avoid a problem...
