Question re Automatic Transmission Driving Technique

[jut703]

How to reach 6K rpm in a 4AT? The manual says that #2 shift should not exceed 80kph.

Car is NA at 155hp * 6K rpm.

I reach 6k rpm all the time with my 4AT car. Just use the manual override function - either put it in 2 or use the manual mode and select second gear.

What car is this?

Ford Escape 2.3L. Is it safe to put it in 2 and exceed 80kph?

I tried to floor the accelerator while in D but it just briefly reached 5K rpm for 1 second and upshifted.

As long as your car is in good shape, it's perfectly fine to rev your engine to its redline every now and then.
