Driving tips
.
On a road surface where there is a risk
of wheelspin (for example, a snow- or
gravel-covered road), you can pull away
from a standstill (safely and easily) by first
selecting the 2nd gear of the manual
mode.
.
Always apply the foot or parking brake
when the vehicle is stopped in the
“
D
”
or
“
R
”
position.
.
Always apply the parking brake when
parking your vehicle. Do not hold the
vehicle with only the transmission.
.
Do not keep the vehicle in a stationary
position on an uphill grade by using the
“
D
”
position. Use the brake instead.
.
The engine may, on rare occasions,
knock when the vehicle rapidly acceler-
ates or rapidly pulls away from a standstill.
This phenomenon does not indicate a
malfunction.
.
For 3.6 L models, a slight reduction in
output torque may occur before the engine
warms up.
