WARNING!
Never select P or R while the car is in motion.
When initially selecting positions D, 3, 2, 1, or R, your foot should press firmly on the brake pedal
to ensure that the car is standing still with the engine idling.
The gear selector should not be downshifted to 2 or 1 at speeds above 75 mph (125 km/h). *
* Always observe local speed limits.
Kick-down
Automatic shift to a lower gear (kick-down) is achieved by depressing the accelerator pedal fully and
briskly. An up-shift will be achieved when approaching the top speed for a particular gear or by
releasing the accelerator pedal slightly. Kick-down can be used for maximum acceleration or when
passing at highway speeds below a certain limit.
NOTE: The kickdown feature should not be used during the break-in
period.
