The selector lever can be moved freely be-
tween the other positions.
The selector lever console is illuminated.
Remember the following basic rules:
Apply the parking brake or foot brake before
selecting a driving range. When the selector
lever is in a driving range, 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
range. 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.
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 idling before selecting
a driving range.
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 level is not
in the " P " position. Move the selector lever
to "P" and apply parking brake.
Always make sure the selector level 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.
The driving ranges must never be used for
holding the vehicle at rest uphill. Always use
your foot brakes when stopped on inclines.
WARNING
While driving with the automatic speed
control set (at speeds above 30 mph or 50
km/h), do not bring shift lever into the Neu-
tral position to prevent excessive engine
rpm.
Driving the automatic transmission
The Automatic Transmission has 4 forward
driving ranges and one reverse. In the driving
ranges D, 3 and 2 the Automatic Transmission
changes gears automatically while driving.
Position D
is the driving range normally used for city and
highway driving. It ranges from zero to top
speed, and all four gears shift automatically
depending on the 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. Therefore, only shift
down into driving range " 3 " when the speed is
below 90 mph or 145 km/h. It is not necessary
to let up on the accelerator.
