Your vehicle has a SelectShift Automatictransmission gearshift lever. This gives youthe ability to change gears up or down,without a clutch, as preferred.
To prevent the engine from running at toolow an RPM, which could cause it to stall,SelectShift still makes some downshiftsif it determines that you have notdownshifted in time. Although SelectShiftmakes some downshifts for you, it stillallows you to downshift at any time if itdetermines that damage to the enginefrom over-revving does not occur.
