The foot brakes should be used for
this purpose.
cOn slippery roads, do not downshift.
This may cause a loss of control.The automatic transmission in your vehicle
is electronically controlled by a transmission
control module to produce maximum power
and smooth operation.

ommended operating procedures for this
transmission. Follow these procedures for
maximum vehicle performance and driving
enjoyment.
