Do not downshift for additional engine braking on a

slippery surface. The drive wheels could lose their

grip and the vehicle could skid, causing a collision or

personal injury.

NOTE: To select the proper gear position for maximum

deceleration (engine braking), simply press and hold the

ERS (-) switch down. The transmission will shift to the

range from which the vehicle can best be slowed down.

CAUTION!

When using ERS for engine braking while descend-

ing steep grades, be careful not to overspeed the

engine. Apply the brakes as needed to prevent en-

gine overspeed.

Overdrive Operation

The automatic transmission includes an electronically

controlled Overdrive (fifth and sixth gears). The trans-

mission will automatically shift into Overdrive if the

following conditions are present:

• the shift lever is in the DRIVE position,

• the transmission fluid has reached an adequate tem-

perature,

• the engine coolant has reached an adequate tempera-

ture,

• vehicle speed is sufficiently high, and

• the TOW/HAUL switch has not been activated.
