AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION

WARNINGS
Always set the parking brake fully and
make sure you shift the gearshift lever
to park (P). Switch the ignition off and remove
the key whenever you leave your vehicle.
Do not use the tow/haul feature when
driving in icy or slippery conditions as
the increased engine braking can cause the
rear wheels to slide and your vehicle to
swing around with the possible loss of
vehicle control.
