AutoStick – If Equipped
− By using the AutoStick mode and selecting a specific gear range, frequent shifting can be avoided. Select the highest gear range that allows for adequate performance and avoids frequent downshifts.
− Extended driving at high RPM should be avoided to prevent excess heat generation. A reduction in vehicle speed may be required to avoid extended driving at high RPM. Return to a higher gear range or vehicle speed when road conditions and RPM level allows.
