Starting and driving
Automatic transmission
The electronic control module for the auto-
matic transmission receives information on
engine torque and road speed, and also
controls the hydraulic pressure in the trans-
mission to ensure that gear changing is as
smooth as possible.
The position of the selector lever is shown
by the symbols adjacent to the lever and
also by an indicator on the main instrument
panel.
The ignition key can only be removed when
the selector lever is in the P position.
When the car is stationary, the engine must
be at idling speed when the selector lever is
moved. You must have your foot on the
brake pedal to move the lever out of park.
If the accelerator is depressed while the
lever is moved, this will result in abnormal
wear in the transmission.
WARNING
• Make it a habit to keep your foot on the
brake when selecting a drive position,
to prevent the car creeping forward (or
backward if reverse is selected).
• The car must be at a standstill before
P, R or N is selected. You have to have
your foot on the brake pedal to move
the lever out of P. If the car is still
moving when a drive position is subse-
quently selected, this could cause an
accident or damage the automatic
transmission.
• Never park the car with the selector
lever in a drive position, even if the
parking brake is on.
• Always select "P" position and apply
the parking brake when leaving the
vehicle unattended.
NOTE
After selecting a drive position, pause to
allow the gear to engage before you
accelerate.
