Automatic Transmission

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 danger-
ous. Keep your foot on the
brake pedal and off the acceler-
ator pedal. After shifting, wait a
while, then release the brake
pedal slowly. This will prevent
any unexpected rapid
acceleration.
NOTICE
Damage to your transmission
caused by shifting out of P
(Park) or N (Neutral) with the
engine racing is not covered by
your warranty.
Section 3
NOTICE
Spinning the tires too fast or
holding the vehicle in one place
on a hill using only the acceler-
ator pedal may damage the
transmission.
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.
