Automatic Transmission Operation
The automatic transmission has six forward speeds and one reverse speed.
The individual speeds are selected automatically in the D (Drive) position.
To reduce the risk of serious injury
or death:
•
ALWAYS check the surrounding
areas near your vehicle for peo-
ple, especially children, before
shifting a vehicle into D (Drive) or
R (Reverse).
•
Before leaving the driver's seat,
always make sure the shift lever
is in the P (Park) position, then
set the parking brake, and place
the ignition switch in the LOCK/
OFF position. Unexpected and
sudden vehicle movement can
occur if these precautions are not
followed.
•
When using Manual Shift Mode,
do not use aggressive engine
braking (shifting from a higher
gear to a lower gear) on slippery
roads. This could cause the tires
to slip and may result in an acci-
dent.
