Automatic Transmission
ready to drive. The vehicle may
otherwise start creeping when the
selector lever is in drive or reverse
position.
Accelerator position
The automatic transmission selects
individual gears automatically,
dependent upon
Partial throttle  = early upshifting
= normal acceleration
Warning!
Full throttle  = later  upshifting
= rapid acceleration
Selector lever position
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 into gear when
the engine is idling normally and
when your right foot is firmly on the
brake pedal.
Kickdown (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 or 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 the brake until
75
