engine braking.
Upshifts can be made by shifting to

3 (Third) at higher speeds causes
the transmission to shift to a lower
gear, and will shift to 3 (Third) after
vehicle decelerates to the proper
speed.

Use 2 (Second) to start-up on
slippery roads or to provide
additional engine braking on
downgrades.

(Overdrive). Selecting 2 (Second) at
higher speeds causes the
transmission to shift to a lower gear,
and will shift to 2 (Second) after
vehicle decelerates to the proper
speed.
