This helps you get the best possible fuel economy.
The light will come on under these conditions:
The engine coolant temperature is greater than
you are going 15 to
20
mph (24 to
32
km/h)
and
170°F
(77"C),
you are at
35
throttle or less.
When the
skip
shift light is on, the gearshift lever will
let you
shift
from
FIRST
(1)
to FOURTH (4) only. Once
you are in FOURTH (4),
you
can press the clutch again
and
shift
into
another
gear.
Follow the shift speeds listed below when the
SKIP
SHIFT
light is on.
