Here are some additional tips for shifting gears:

* Shift into a lower gear when you are driving uphill or when you are slowing down.

* Shift into a higher gear when you are driving downhill or when you are accelerating.

* If you have trouble shifting gears, stop the vehicle and check the transmission fluid level.

* If the transmission fluid level is correct, have the transmission checked by a qualified mechanic.
