426 STARTING AND OPERATING When frequent transmission shifting occurs (such as when operating the vehicle under heavy loading conditions, in hilly terrain, or traveling into strong head winds), use the AutoStick® shift control (refer to "AutoStick®" in this section for further information) to select a lower gear. Under these conditions, using a lower gear will improve performance and extend transmission life by reducing excessive shifting and heat buildup. During extremely cold temperatures, the transmission will not operate if the oil temperature is -22°F (-30°C) or below. Allow the engine to idle briefly with the transmission in PARK in order to warm the fluid. Normal operation will resume once the transmission temperature has risen to a suitable level. Instrument Cluster Messages Messages will be displayed in the instrument cluster to alert the driver when certain unusual conditions occur. These messages are described below.
