DRIVING TIPS FOR AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
Creep Phenomenon
Without any depression of the accelerator pedal, your ve-
hicle can move slowly if the selector lever is in any position
other than
“P”
or
“N”
. This is called the creep effect. You
can control your vehicle’s movement by only applying the
brake in heavy traffic or narrow areas.
• On a steep decline or incline, your vehicle may move in the opposite
direction of the intended direction in spite of the creep effect. When
stopping on a steep hill, always depress the brake pedal.
• Never move the selector lever to the “N” position while driving. By
doing so, the engine brake cannot be applied. This may result in
unwanted accidents.
CAUTION
Kickdown Function
If you need to accelerate rapidly, depress the accelerator
pedal completely to the floor. Then, a one- or two-lever gear
will automatically be engaged. This is called the Kickdown
function.
• Do not excessively apply the brake pedal while going down a long
hill. The brake system will overheat, experience vapor lock or the
fade phenomenon, and lose the braking force.
• Be aware that the engine brake does not work when the gear se-
lector lever is in the
“N”
position.
• Avoid any abrupt engine braking on slippery roads, or the tires may
slip.
CAUTION
Engine Brake
When the accelerator pedal is released while the vehicle is
in motion, the engine speed decreases. This decreased en-
gine speed creates an extra braking force. On a down hill,
engaging a lower gear can generate a slower engine speed
and eventually slow down the vehicle speed. By using this
engine brake, you can decrease your vehicle speed with-
out excessively using the brake system. The lower gear,
the more braking force.
• Do not use the kickdown operation while driving on slippery or
sharply curved roads.
• If you use the kickdown function too frequently, the durability and
fuel economy of the vehicle will get worse.
