Automatic
transmission
122
After starting the engine and before
shifting into a gear, depress the brake
pedal. If the brake pedal is released when
a gear is engaged, the vehicle will "creep".
Never depress the accelerator and brake
pedals simultaneously.
Failure to follow the description can lead
to injuries or endanger life.
Once D has been selected, the economy
driving programme is operative. Position D
is generally ideal for driving.
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 be changed manually
only in exceptional cases. Select 3, 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.
Select D again as soon as driving
conditions permit.
