SelectShift™ 

With SelectShift™:

The transmission will make some downshifts automatically primarily to protect the engine from stalling. Although SelectShift will make some downshifts for you, it will still allow you to downshift at any time as long as SelectShift determines that the engine will not be damaged from over-revving.

It is recommended to return to D mode on flat terrain to provide the best fuel economy and transmission function.
