AutoStick — If Equipped

When using the AutoStick shift control, select the high-

est gear that allows for adequate performance and

avoids frequent downshifts. For example, choose “4” if

the desired speed can be maintained. Choose “3” or “2”

if needed to maintain the desired speed.

To prevent excess heat generation, avoid continuous

driving at high RPM. Reduce vehicle speed as necessary

to avoid extended driving at high RPM. Return to a

higher gear or vehicle speed when grade and road

conditions allow.

Electronic Speed Control — If Equipped

Do not use in hilly terrain or with heavy loads.

When using the speed control, if you experience speed

drops greater than 10 mph (16 km/h), disengage until

you can get back to cruising speed.

Use speed control in flat terrain and with light loads to

maximize fuel efficiency.

Cooling System

To reduce potential for engine and transmission overheat-

ing, take the following actions:

City Driving

When stopped for short periods of time, shift the transmis-

sion into NEUTRAL and increase engine idle speed.

Highway Driving

Reduce speed.

Air Conditioning

Turn off temporarily.
