climbing steep grades in high tempera-
tures with heavy loads, such as when tow-
ing a trailer), engine power and, under

creased automatically to reduce the
chance of transmission damage. Vehicle
speed can be controlled with the accelera-
tor pedal, but the engine and vehicle speed
may be reduced.

tection mode operation occurs, vehicle
speed may be gradually reduced. The
reduced speed may be lower than
