If the automatic transmission fluid
temperature increases and exceeds
the specified limit, the transmission
will also automatically downshift to
the first gear even with the
Sequential Sportshift mode. This
prevents the automatic transmission
from overheating. In this case, the
gear position ‘‘1’’ next to the ‘‘M’’
indicator in the instrument panel
blinks about for five seconds, then it
stays on.
Make turns more slowly and wider
than normal. The trailer tracks a
smaller arc than your vehicle, and it
can hit or run over something the
vehicle misses. Allow more time and
distance for braking. Do not brake or
turn suddenly as this could cause the
trailer to jackknife or turn over.
We recommend that you tow a
trailer on the road recommended by
the trailer association.
Driving on an uphill road of more
than 12% slope is not recommended
for your vehicle.
On vehicles with the automatic
transmission, select the Sequential
SportShift mode and shift down to
1st gear when driving up steep hills.
When climbing hills, closely watch
your temperature gauge. If it nears
the red (Hot) mark (slant line area
on some types), turn the air
conditioning off, reduce speed and, if
necessary, pull to the side of the
road to let the engine cool.
If the automatic transmission shifts
frequently within 3rd, 4th, and 5th
gears while going up a hill, shift to
D .
If you must stop when facing uphill,
use the foot brake or parking brake.
Do not try to hold the vehicle in
place by pressing on the accelerator,
as this can cause the automatic
transmission to overheat.
When driving down hills, reduce
your speed and shift down to 2nd
gear. Do not ‘‘ride’’ the brakes, and
remember it will take longer to slow
down and stop when towing a trailer.
