AutoStick

– When using the AutoStick

௡ shift control, select the

highest gear that allows for adequate performance and
avoids frequent downshifts. For example, choose “4” if
the desired speed can be maintained. Choose “3” or
“2” 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.

heating, take the following actions:

City Driving
