24 km/h (15 mph)
2 to 3
42 km/h (26 mph)

(U.S.A. and Canada)
Gear
Vehicle speed

13 km/h (8 mph)
2 to 3
29 km/h (18 mph)
3 to 4
49 km/h (30 mph)
4 to 5

Downshifting
When you must slow down in heavy
tra
ffi
c or on a steep
upgrade
,
downshift before the engine starts to
overwork. This reduces the chance of
stalling and gives better acceleration
when you need more speed.
On a steep
downgrade
, downshifting
helps maintain safe speed and
prolongs brake life.
