Need to downshift manually going up hills and mountains unless you want to go really really slow.


its a 425ISL and has lots of power plus its not a Exhaust Brake
its a 2 stage engine brake.Big difference!
Have the person leasing it to u explain how and when to use this function.For the most part just leave the trans in D for 99% of your driving
