AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION

23
DRIVING
The automatic transmission is lubricated under
pressure and therefore this only occurs if the en-
gine is running.
As a result, and with the risk of serious damage,
the following instructions must be complied with:
- never drive with the ignition off
(going down-
hill for example), we cannot stress enough how
dangerous this practice is.
- never push a vehicle (eg. : to reach a petrol
pump), except by following the instructions in
the "Towing" paragraph.
In addition, the vehicle is only driven if the engine
is running. It is therefore impossible to start the
engine of a vehicle with automatic transmission
by pushing it.
TOWING
In all cases, it is preferable to tow the vehicle on a
trailer or with the front wheels off the ground.
However, if this is not possible, the vehicle can be
towed at a speed below 25 mph (40 km/
h and
over a maximum distance of 30 miles (50 km) (le-
ver in N).
