Automatic Transmission

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.
Any resulting damage would
not be covered by your
warranty.
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.

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
dangerous. Keep your foot on
the brake pedal and off the
accelerator 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.
The transmission in your vehicle
uses shift stabilization which
adjusts transmission shifting to the
current driving situation to reduce
rapid upshifts and downshifts. In
some cases, the shift stabilization
feature will prevent upshifting to
maintain the current vehicle speed
which results in what seems to be
a hanging shift. This is normal.
The transmission also uses
adaptive shift controls.
