NOTE:
Using a lower gear while operating the vehicle under
heavy loading conditions, will improve performance and
extend transmission life by reducing excessive shifting
and heat buildup. This action will also provide better
engine braking.
Cruise Control — If Equipped
•
Do not use on hilly terrain or with heavy loads.
•
When using the Cruise Control, if you experience
speed drops greater than 10 mph (16 km/h), disen-
gage until you can get back to cruising speed.

in Transport mode before tying them down (from the
body) on a trailer or flatbed truck
page 125. If
the vehicle cannot be placed in Transport mode (for
example, engine will not run), tie-downs should be
fastened over the tires using specific straps (not to
the body). Failure to follow these instructions may
cause fault codes to be set and/or cause loss of
proper tie-down tension.
