Important!
To prevent the engine from laboring at
low RPMs, do not allow the engine
speed to drop too low on uphill
gradients.
Stopping
The delayed upshift is effective with
vehicle speeds below 31 mph (50
km/h) at partial throttle and engine
temperatures below 95°F (35°C).
For brief stops, e.g. at traffic lights,
leave the transmission in gear and hold
vehicle with the service brake.
Depending on the degree of the incline,
shift selector lever to a lower gear early
enough to maintain engine RPM within
the best torque range.
For longer stops with the engine idling,
shift into "N" or "P".
Do not exceed the vehicle speed limits
for individual gear selections, which
are indicated by marks (I, II, III, etc.)

When stopping the car on an uphill
incline, do not hold it with the

unnecessary transmission heat build up.
speedometer.
Maneuvering
To avoid over-revving the engine, the
selector lever cannot be moved to a
lower gear if the vehicle speed exceeds
the speed limit of that gear.
Warning!
To maneuver in tight areas, e.g. when
pulling into parking space, control the
car speed by gradually releasing the
brakes. Accelerate gently and never
abruptly step on the accelerator.
To rock a car out of soft ground (mud
or snow), alternately shift from forward
to reverse, while applying slight partial
throttle.
Rocking a car free in this manner may
cause the ABS warning lamp to come
on. Turn off and restart the engine to
clear the malfunction indication.
Getting out of your car with the
selector lever not fully engaged in
position "P" is dangerous. When
parked on a steep incline, position
"P" alone may not prevent your
vehicle from rolling, possibly hitting
people or objects. Always set the
parking brake in addition to shifting
to position "P".
Warning!
On slippery road surfaces, never
downshift in order to obtain braking
action. This could result in rear
wheel slip and reduced vehicle
control. Your vehicle's ABS will not
prevent this type of loss of control.
