Downshift all day long. That's not what heats up the tranny. It's the slipping while in D which you don't get if you put it in 4th like the manual says. It's an automatic. It shifts just fine on its' own. If you feel more comfortable shifting, go ahead, but you won't see much temperature change, if any, by manually downshifting.
