Driving Technique
D
4
-4th
Use the D
4
range for normal in-town and highway driving. The car
will start off in 1st and shift automatically to 2nd, 3rd, and 4th. The
further down you push the accelerator, the later the transmission
will shift and the faster the car will accelerate.
D
3
-3rd
Use of D
3
will allow the transmission to start off in 1st and shift
automatically to 2nd and 3rd. Use D
3
when climbing grades to
prevent the transmission from "hunting" between 3rd and 4th gear;
or when increased braking is needed.
NOTE:
If rapid acceleration is necessary, depress the accelerator to the
floor; the transmission will automatically shift down according to
load and engine speed. This applies to both D
4
and D
3
ranges.
2-2nd
Use 2nd gear for increased engine braking when driving downhill,
and increased power when driving uphill; also for driving on slippery
roads, and freeing the car from mud or sand, where 1st gear could
provide too much power and cause skidding or wheelspin. The
maximum recommended speed in 2nd gear is: 69 mph (110 km/h).
1-1st
This position is to be used when stronger engine braking is needed.
The maximum recommended speed in 1st gear is: 31 mph (50 km/h).
R-Reverse
CAUTION:
Shift into or out of reverse only after the car has come to a
complete stop; the transmission may be damaged if you shift
while the car is moving.
P-Park
CAUTION:
Use this position when starting the engine, or when parking. Shift
into Park only when the car is COMPLETELY stopped.
N-Neutral
Use when starting the engine or during prolonged idling in traffic.
