Parking Brake The engine coolant temperature is greater than 170_F (77_C), D you are going 15 to 20 mph (24 to 32 km/h) and D you are at 35 percent throttle or less. Follow the shift speeds listed below when the SKIP SHIFT light is on. Computer-Aided Manual Transmission Shift Speeds D 1st to 4th @ 15 mph (24 km/h) D 4th to 5th @ 25 mph (40 km/h)* D 5th to 6th @ 49 mph (64 km/h)** Each time you come to a stop, the engine’s Powertrain Control Module (PCM) determines when to activate the skip shift upshift system.

Steering Tips Driving on Curves It’s important to take curves at a reasonable speed. A lot of the “driver lost control” accidents mentioned on the news happen on curves. Here’s why: Experienced driver or beginner, each of us is subject to the same laws of physics when driving on curves. The traction of the tires against the road surface makes it possible for the vehicle to change its path when you turn the front wheels. If there’s no traction, inertia will keep the vehicle going in the same direction. If you’ve ever tried to steer a vehicle on wet ice, you’ll understand this. The traction you can get in a curve depends on the condition of your tires and the road surface, the angle at which the curve is banked, and your speed. While you’re in a curve, speed is the one factor you can control. Steering in Emergencies There are times when steering can be more effective than braking. For
Tilt Wheel A tilt wheel allows you to adjust the steering wheel before you drive. The tilt wheel is located on the left side of the steering column. You can also raise it to the highest level to give your legs more room when you exit and enter the vehicle. Turn Signal/Multifunction Lever The lever located on the left side of the steering column includes your: D Turn Signal and Lane Change Indicator D Headlamp High/Low-Beam Changer and Passing Signal To tilt the wheel, hold the steering wheel and pull the lever.
