Put That Sucker in "D"

...and drive, Drive, DRIVE! - It will work automatically. If you go up a steeper hill, it will most likely drop down a gear or two. I live in the Appalachians in Western North Carolina, when I come down the mountain it drops down & slows the car automatically. Have driven a lot of vehicles that I had to lay on the brakes to slow down, not this one. This is a sweet little transmission...just put it in drive and GO

You were told wrong, it's an automatic transmission, it will decide what gear is most efficient given the circumstances.

And yes, I did say I manually downshift on occasion but I could just as easily get the transmission to downshift on its own by working the throttle.

I just find it easier, quicker and even more fun to downshift myself; but yougojay is absolutely correct, all you really have to do is put it in 'D' and drive!

Cheers! M2
