Downshifting with the paddle shifter
allows you to increase the engine
braking when going down steep or
long hills, and provides more power
when climbing uphills. You can
upshift the transmission manually to
reduce the rpm. Driving in the
higher gear helps fuel economy.
The transmission also shifts
automatically as the vehicle comes to
a complete stop. It downshifts to first
gear when the vehicle speed reaches
6mph(10km/h)orless.
Here are the speed ranges for
upshifting and downshifting.
The automatic transmission will not
allow you to shift up or down if:
You downshift before the engine
speed falls below the upper limit of
the lower gear.
If you try to do this, the gear
position indicator will flash the
numberofthelowergearseveral
times, then return to a higher gear.
