NOTE: If the vehicle is started in extremely cold tem-

peratures, the transmission may not shift into Overdrive

and will automatically select the most desirable gear for

operation at this temperature. Normal operation will

resume when the transmission fluid temperature has

risen to a suitable level. Refer also to the Note under

torque converter clutch, later in this section.

During cold temperature operation you may notice de-

layed upshifts depending on engine and transmission

temperature. This feature improves the warm up time of

the engine and transmission.

If the transmission temperature gets extremely hot, the

transmission will automatically select the most desirable

gear for operation at this temperature. If the transmission

temperature becomes hot enough, the “TRANSMISSION

OVER TEMP” message may display and the transmis-

sion may downshift out of Overdrive until the transmis-

sion cools down. After cooldown, the transmission will

resume normal operation.

In high ambient temperatures with sustained high engine

speed and load, an upshift followed shortly thereafter by

a downshift may occur. This is a normal part of the

overheat protection strategy when operating in the

“Tow/Haul” mode.

The transmission will downshift from Overdrive to the

most desirable gear if the accelerator pedal is fully

depressed at vehicle speeds above approximately 35 mph

(56 km/h).

When To Use “TOW/HAUL” Mode — If Equipped

When driving in hilly areas, towing a trailer, carrying a

heavy load, etc., and frequent transmission shifting oc-

curs, press the “TOW/HAUL” button. This will improve

performance and reduce the potential for transmission
