dangerous. Unless your foot is
firmly on the brake pedal, the
vehicle could move very rapidly.
You could lose control and hit
people or objects. Do not shift
into a drive gear while the engine
is running at high speed.
Caution
Shifting out of P (Park) or
N (Neutral) with the engine

Driving and Operating
Caution
A transmission hot message may
display if the automatic gearbox
fluid is too hot. Driving under this
condition can damage the vehicle.
Stop and idle the engine to cool
the automatic gearbox fluid. This
message clears when the
gearbox fluid has cooled
sufficiently.
D : This position is for normal
driving. If more power is needed for
overtaking, press the accelerator
pedal down.
Powertrain Braking
When driving on steep descents
with the gear lever in D (Drive)
where frequent braking is required,
the transmission will shift down a
gear to help hold vehicle speed and
reduce brake wear. If the driver
continues to press the brake, the
transmission will downshift until
3 (Third) gear is reached.
