speedometer during light throttle,  low speed maneuvers

appears, you can only shift  from FIRST (1) to
FOURTH (4) instead of FIRST (1) to SECOND (2).
If you skip a gear  when you downshift, you
could lose control of your  vehicle. You could
injure yourself or others. Do  not shift down
more than one gear at  a time when you
downshift.
See One-to-Four Shift Message on  page 3-52 for more
information.
During the shift from FIRST (1) to  FOURTH (4), pull the
shift lever straight back using  light force on the shift
lever. You must complete the  shift into FOURTH (4) to
turn off this feature.  This helps you get the best
possible fuel economy. The skip  shift feature is turned
backed on when the vehicle  is at a complete stop.
Notice:   If you skip more than one  gear when you
downshift, or if you race  the engine when you
release the clutch pedal while  downshifting, you
could damage the engine, clutch,  driveshaft or the
transmission. Do not skip gears  or race the
engine when downshifting.
Notice:   Forcing the shift lever into any  gear except
FOURTH (4), when the One–to–Four Shift message
comes on, may damage the  transmission. Shift
only from FIRST (1) to FOURTH (4) when  the
One–to–Four Shift message comes on.
If the vehicle speed drops  below 20 mph (32 km/h),
or if the engine is not running smoothly, you should
downshift to the next lower  gear. You may have
to downshift two or more  gears to keep the engine
running smoothly or for good  performance.
This light comes on when:
The engine coolant temperature is  higher than
(76°C) and you are going  15 to 19 mph
to 31 km/h).
You are 21 percent throttle or less.
