As I said, that part in the manual does not seem to be titled very well. I'd call it "Gear Lockout" or something similar.

I would call it Downshifting in Manual Mode.

Of course you 5.slow guys don't have to worry about limiting the torque.

Slow must be a relative term....

Glad I found this thread. After the gear indicator disappeared on my new truck I spent 3 days going through every setting I could find and reading the owners manual trying to figure it out. I gave up and was going to have the dealer fix it during my complimentary first oil change.

I too am disappointed with the owners manual. 546 pages with an index that has yet to point me to anything I was looking for.
