Electronic Speed Control — If Equipped

• Do not use in hilly terrain or with heavy loads.
• When using the speed control, if you experience speed

drops greater than 10 mph (16 km/h), disengage until

you can get back to cruising speed.

• Use speed control in flat terrain and with light loads to

maximize fuel efficiency.

AutoStick — If Equipped

• When using the AutoStick shift control, select the

highest gear that allows for adequate performance and

avoids frequent downshifts. For example, choose “5” if

the desired speed can be maintained. Choose “4” or

“3” if needed to maintain the desired speed.

• To prevent excess heat generation, avoid continuous

driving at high RPM. Reduce vehicle speed as neces-

sary to avoid extended driving at high RPM. Return to

a higher gear or vehicle speed when grade and road

conditions allow.

Cooling System

heating, take the following actions:
City Driving

When stopped for short periods of time, shift the trans-

mission into NEUTRAL and increase engine idle speed.
