Automatic Transmission
The automatic transmission selects in­
dividual gears automatically, depend­
ent upon selector lever position, ve­
hicle speed and accelerator position.
Important!
When parking the car and before
working on the vehicle with the engine
running, firmly engage the parking
brake and shift the selector lever to
position “ P” .
Driving:
The selector lever is automatically
locked while in position “ P” . To move
the selector lever out of position “ P” ,
the service brake pedal must be firmly
depressed before the shift lock will
release.
Shift selector lever to the desired driv­
ing position only when the engine is
idling and the service brake is applied.
Do not release the brake until ready to
drive. The vehicle may otherwise start
creeping when the selector lever is in
drive or reverse position.
Warning!
It is dangerous to shift the selec­
tor lever out of “P” or “N” if the
engine speed is higher than idle
speed. If your foot is not on the
brake pedal, the car could accele­
rate quickly forward or in reverse.
You could lose control of the car
and hit someone or something.
Only shift into gear when the
engine is idling normally.
Accelerator position
Partial throttle = early upshifting =
normal acceleration
Full throttle = later upshifting = rapid
acceleration
Depressing the accelerator beyond full
throttle to kickdown position means
downshifting to the next lower gear
and thereby increasing acceleration. If
you ease up on the accelerator after
having attained the desired speed, the
transmission will shift up again.
