Controls for
automatic transmission
The individual driving ranges are selected
automatically depending on
• selector lever position
• speed
• accelerator pedal position
The position of the gear shift lever lights up
in the instrument cluster display field
whenever the vehicle lights or ignition are
switched on.
Remember the following basic rules:
Apply the parking brake or foot brake before
selecting a driving position. When the selec­
tor lever is in a driving position, the car may
creep even at idle speed. Therefore, do not
release the parking brake or foot brake until
you are ready to move.
Do not accelerate while selecting 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.
Do not step on the accelerator until posi­
tive contact has been made.
Under no circumstances may the selec­
tor lever be moved from a driving range
to Ν while the car is travelling at speeds
in excess of 40 km/h (25 mph) - see "Tem­
postat".
If the selector lever is unintentionally moved
into Neutral (N) while driving, take your foot
off the accelerator pedal and wait until the
engine speed has dropped to idle before
selecting a driving position.
Never shift into reverse (R) or Park (P)
when the car is in motion.
Never get out of the driver's seat when the
engine is running and the selector lever is not
in the "P" position.
Move the selector lever
to "P" and apply parking brake.
Always make sure the selector lever is in the
"P" position when checking under the hood.
Otherwise, any increase in engine speed
may set the vehicle in motion,
even with the
parking brake applied.
A driving position must never be used for
holding the vehicle at rest uphill. Always use
your foot brakes when stopped on inclines.
[ W A R N I N G
While driving with the automatic speed
control set (at speeds above 30 mph or 50
km/h), do not bring shift lever into the Neut­
ral position to prevent excessive engine
rpm.
Starting the engine
is only possible when the selector lever is in
Neutral or in Park (N or P). As long as one
of the driving positions is engaged a safety
switch prevents the engine from being
started.
Driving the automatic transmission
The Automatic Transmission has 4 forward
gears and one reverse. In driving positions
D, 3 and 2 the Automatic Transmission
changes gears automatically while driving.
The push button in the selector lever pre­
vents inadvertent selection of a lower range.
The button must be pressed to select 1, R
and P. At speeds of more than 15 km/h (10
mph), a hydromechanical lock prevents
selection of R or P.
To avoid damaging the
engine, do not under any circumstances
exceed the engine speeds listed below
when selecting a lower driving range:
From D to 3 4250 rpm or 190 km/h (118 mph)
From 3 to 2 3700 rpm or 110 km/h ( 68 mph)
Position D
is the driving position normally used for city
and highway driving. It ranges from zero to
top speed, and all four gears shift automati­
cally depending on driving speed.
Position 3
is to be used for mountain driving or slow
driving, when towing a trailer and also when
you want to make use of the engine's braking
effect. In "3", the first, second and third
gears will engage automatically.
