The automatic transmission allows
automatic shifting (Automatic mode) or
manual shifting (Manual mode) to take
place.
The engine can only be started with the
selector lever in P or N. When starting in N,
depress the foot brake or apply the hand
brake. After the engine has started,
depress the brake before engaging a gear.
Do not accelerate while selecting a gear.
Once a gear is engaged and the brake is
released, the vehicle "creeps". Never
depress the brake pedal and the
accelerator pedal simultaneously. The
selected gear is shown in the transmission
display, see page 176.
