G Warning!
It is dangerous to shift the automatic
transmission out of park position P or
neutral position N if the engine speed is
higher than idle speed. If your foot is not
firmly on the brake pedal, the vehicle could
accelerate quickly forward or in reverse.
You could lose control of the vehicle 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.

upshifting is delayed. This allows the
catalytic converter to heat up more quickly
to operating temperature.
For information on driving with an automatic
transmission, see “Driving and
parking” (Y page 113).
G Warning!
Make sure absolutely no objects are
obstructing the pedals’ range of movement.
Keep the driver’s footwell clear of all
obstacles. If there are any floormats or
carpets in the footwell, make sure the
pedals still have sufficient clearance.
During sudden driving or braking
maneuvers the objects could get caught
between the pedals. You could then no
longer brake or accelerate. This could lead
to accidents and injury.
