Hi All!
Will someone please tell me the rationale for having to shift from first to fourth when travelling between 15 and 19 MPH? I first missed that part when reading my 2004 owners' manual and thought I wasn't shifting properly. (I hope I didn't mess up the trans by forcing it into second.) The manual talks about being in a gas saving mode, but it still doesn't make sense to me. Is this "feature" in previous years' models as well? Also, is there a way that this can be overridden by the GM service department? Thanks.
