Automatic transmission operation ➤

Good driving practices

  • Never move the gear shift lever from P (Park) to any other position with the accelerator pedal depressed.
  • Never move the gear shift lever into P (Park) when the vehicle is in motion.
  • Slow down before shifting to a lower gear. Otherwise, the lower gear may not be engaged.
  • Always use the parking brake. Do not depend on placing the transmission in P (Park) to keep the vehicle from moving.
  • Optimum vehicle performance and economy is obtained by smoothly depressing and releasing the accelerator pedal.

✽ NOTICE - Kickdown Mechanism

Use the kickdown mechanism for maximum acceleration. Depress the accelerator pedal beyond the pressure point. The automatic transmission will shift to a lower gear depending on the engine speed.

Moving up a steep grade from a standing start

To move up a steep grade from a standing start, depress the brake pedal, release the parking brake, and shift the shift lever to D (Drive). Depress the accelerator gradually while releasing the brake pedal.
