Transmission
Do not apply the brake and
accelerator pedals simultaneously
for more than three seconds as this
limits engine rpm and labors the
transmission. This may result in difficulty
maintaining speed in traffic and could lead
to serious injury.
Note: When you switch the ignition off, the
transmission will carry out a series of checks.
You may hear slight clicking sounds. This is
normal.
We have designed your vehicle to improve
fuel economy by reducing fuel usage
compared to a traditional torque converter
automatic transmission. When you take
your foot off the accelerator pedal and
your vehicle begins to slow down, this can
feel like a light to medium braking
sensation.
Selector Lever Positions
You must press the brake pedal to
apply the brakes before moving the
transmission selector lever. Failure
to keep the brakes applied until you are
ready to move off may lead to an accident
or injury.
