Automatic Transmission
the brake until ready to drive. The
vehicle may otherwise start creeping
when the selector lever is in drive or
reverse position.

individual gears automatically,
dependent upon
Partial throttle = early up shifting
= normal acceleration

Accelerator position
Vehicle speed
It is dangerous to shift the selector
lever out of "P" or "N" if the engine
speed is higher than idle speed. If
your foot is not on the brake pedal,
the car could accelerate quickly
forward or in reverse. You could lose
control of the car and hit someone or
something. Only shift info gear when
the engine is idling normally and
when your right foot is firmly on the
brake pedal.
Kick down (depressing the accelerator
beyond full throttle) = downshifting to
next lowest gear = maximum
acceleration. Once the desired speed is
attained, ease up on the accelerator -
the transmission shifts up again
Important!
When parking the car and before
working on the vehicle with the engine
running, firmly depress the parking
brake pedal and shift the selector lever
into "P".
Driving
Important!
The selector lever is automatically
locked while in position "P". To move
the selector lever out of position "P",
the service brake pedal must be firmly
depressed before the shift lock will
release.
After selecting any driving position
from "N" or "P", wait a moment to
allow the gear to fully engage before
accelerating, especially when the
engine is cold.
Shift selector lever to the desired driving
position only when the engine is idling
and the service brake is applied. Do not
release
