Automatic Transmission

NOTICE
Spinning the tires too fast or
holding the vehicle in one
place on a hill using only the
accelerator pedal may damage
the transmission.
Any resulting damage would
not be covered by your
warranty.
If the vehicle gets stuck do not
spin the wheels too fast.
When stopped during an uphill
climb, hold the vehicle in place
using the brakes.
CAUTION
Do not shift out of P (Park) or
N (Neutral) with the engine
racing.
You could lose control of the
vehicle and you or others may
be injured.
Shifting into a drive gear
while the engine is racing is
dangerous. Keep your foot on
the brake pedal and off the
accelerator pedal. After shifting,
wait a while, then release the
brake pedal slowly. This will
prevent any unexpected rapid
acceleration.
