DRIVING TIPS FOR 3-SPEED
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION*
Starting the car
After starting the engine and before
shifting into a drive range, depress the
brake pedal since the vehicle will otherwise
start to "creep". Never use accelerator and
brake pedals simultaneously.
The automatic transmission can be almost
always maintained in drive range "D"(1st
to 3rd gear).
If the accelerator pedal is depressed gently
and evenly the transmission will shift into
the fuel-saving gears at an early stage. The
drive range needs to be changed manually
only in exceptional cases. Select "2" and
"1" only when automatic shifting up is to
be avoided or if additional use is to be made
of the engine braking effect.
Return to "D" as soon as conditions permit.

Kickdown
When the accelerator pedal is depressed
beyond its resistance point below certain
speeds, the transmission shifts down into
a lower gear. Full use is made of the engine
power for acceleration.

Engine braking
In order to utilize the engine braking effect
when driving downhill, select drive range
"2" or, if necessary, "1" in good time.
The braking action is most effective in drive
range "1". If drive range "1" is selected at
too high a speed, the transmission remains
in second gear until the shift point for first
gear is reached, e.g. as a result of
deceleration.

Stopping the car
The selector lever can be left in the chosen
drive range with the engine running.
When stopping on gradients, engage hand
brake or depress brake pedal. Do not
increase the engine revolutions to ensure
smooth idling while standing if a drive range
has been selected.
Switch off engine if stopping for a lengthy
period, e.g. in traffic jams or at level
crossings.
Before leaving the vehicle, apply hand
brake, then place selector lever in position
"P" and remove ignition key.
