uuWhen Driving uAutomatic Transmission
Driving
Automatic Transmission
The engine runs at a higher id le speed and creeping increases.
Keep the brake pedal firmly depressed when stopped.
Quickly depressing the accelerator peda l while driving uphill may cause the 
transmission to drop to a lower gear, unex pectedly increasing vehicle speed. Depress 
the accelerator pedal carefully, especi ally on slippery roads and curves.
■Creeping
■Kickdown
1Precautions While Driving
During the first 600 miles (1,000 km) of operation, 
avoid sudden acceleration or  full throttle operation so 
as to not damage the  engine or powertrain.
Avoid hard braking for the  first 200 miles (300 km).
You should also follow this  when the brake pads are 
replaced.
