Gear ranges:
Upshift through 4th gear only. Suitable for
performance driving.

does not shift higher than 3rd gear, this gear
selection will allow use of the engine's braking
power downhill.

Upshift through 2nd gear only. For driving in
mountainous regions or under extreme operating
conditions. This gear selection will allow use of
the engine's braking power when descending
steep grades.
Use this position, which makes maximum use of
the engine's braking effect, while descending
very steep or lengthy downgrades and only at
speeds below 40 mph (60 km/h).
