drop s greater than 10 mph (16 km/ h), disengage until
you can get back to cruising speed .

The “D” range can be selected when tow ing. However, if
frequ ent shifting occurs while in this range, the “3” range
shou ld be selected .

und er heavy operating cond itions will improve perfor-
mance and extend transm ission life by red ucing exces-
sive shifting and heat build up. This action will also
provid e better engine braking.
