Shift Speeds
{
CAUTION:
If you skip a gear when you downshift,
you could lose control of your vehicle.
You could injure yourself or others. Do
not shift down more than one gear at a
time when you downshift.
Do not allow the engine Revolutions Per Minute
(RPM) to overspeed and enter the tachometer red
lines. Engine overspeed occurs when downshifting,
or descending a grade, at too high a vehicle speed.
When going down steep grades, always select a
gear at least one position lower than you would use
on climbing a grade. This will allow the vehicle’s
engine to provide some braking and help to slow
the vehicle as it goes down the grade.
Monitor your vehicle speed, acceleration and
engine RPM while applying the brakes as you go
down the grade to ensure you have complete
control over the vehicle.
If your engine speed drops below 600 rpm, or if
the engine is not running smoothly, you should
downshift to the next lower gear. When operating
on slippery surfaces, downshift at lower than
normal vehicle speeds to prevent the tires from
slipping.
In vehicles that have a bench seat, move the
tallest beverage containers to the right cupholder
to provide additional clearance for the shift
lever.
For vehicles that have a center console, the front
cup holder pulls out and turns 180° to provide
additional clearance between tall beverage
containers and the shift lever.
