CONTROLS AND
Selecting a driving position
� WARNING
• Power is transmitted to the
wheels as soon as a driving posi­
tion Is engaged. Therefore, when
the selector lever is in a driving
position, the vehicle may creep
even at idle speed. Do not release
the parking brake or foot brake un­
til you are ready to move.
•
If you must check under the
hood with the engine running,
never have any driving position en­
gaged. Make sure the selector le­
ver is securely locked into the P
(Park) position with the parking
brake firmly set. Otherwise, any
increase in engine speed may set
the vehicle in motion, even with
the parking brake applied.
•
Do not accelerate while select­
ing a driving position. At this time
the engine must run at idle speed
so that no undue stress will be
placed on the automatic clutches
in the transmission.
