Shifting the Automatic (cont'd)
Operating Tips
For smoother operation, apply the brakes when shifting from Neutral
or Park into a gear.
When parking: bring the car to a stop with the foot-brake, hold the
brake on and shift into Park, set the hand-brake and then turn off the
engine.
NOTE: Your 4-speed automatic transmission is equipped with a
torque converter lock-up clutch. Because of this, you may notice what
feels like an extra shift as the clutch engages.
CAUTION:
Shift into P only after the car has come to a complete stop.
Shift into or out of R only after the car has come to a complete
stop.
Do not "rev-up" the engine when the brake is on and the shift
lever is in D4, D3, 2, 1 or R.
When stopped on a hill, use the brakes, not the accelerator pedal
to hold your position.
Do not shift from N or P into D4, D3, 2, 1 or R when the engine is
above idle speed. Before shifting into gear, make sure your foot
is firmly on the brake pedal.
Do not rest your hand on the shift lever or push the lock-out
button while driving.
