Hints on Driving with an Automatic
Transmission WARNINGS
Do not apply the brake and
accelerator pedals simultaneously
for more than three seconds as this
limits engine rpm and labors the
transmission. This may make it difficult to
maintain speeds in traffic and lead to an
accident or injury. Do not idle the engine for long
periods of time in
D with the brakes
applied. This could damage the
transmission and may lead to an accident
or injury. Note:
The system carries out a series of
checks when you switch the ignition on and
off. You may hear clicking sounds. This is
normal. Moving off
1. Press the brake pedal to apply the
brakes.
2. Move the transmission selector lever to
R,D or S.
3. Release the parking brake.
4. Release the brake pedal and press the
accelerator pedal.
Stopping
1. Release the accelerator pedal and press the brake pedal.
2. Apply the parking brake.
3. Move the transmission selector lever to
N or P.
Downshift
Press the accelerator pedal fully with the
transmission selector lever in either
D, S
mode or manual shifting position to select
a lower gear for optimum performance.
Release the accelerator pedal when you
no longer require downshift.
If Your Vehicle Gets Stuck In Mud or
Snow
If your vehicle gets stuck in mud or snow,
it may be rocked out by shifting between
D
and R, stopping between shifts in a
steady pattern. Press the accelerator
lightly in each gear.
Note: Do not rock your vehicle if the engine
is not at normal operating temperature as
this can damage the transmission.
Note: Do not rock your vehicle for more
than a minute as this can damage the
transmission or the tires and the engine may
overheat.
