There are several possible causes. A few:
- The engine is cold and making less power so you are pushing the gas peddle further causing the transmission to hold the gear longer
- The computer is programed to do this ( but I have no idea why it would be)
- The transmission has a sticky or stuck valve that requires the higher speed to move.
- It is really really cold and the oil in the transmission just needs time to loosen up.
