STARTING AND DRIVING
||
CAUTION
When starting in cold weather, the
•
automatic transmission may shift up at
slightly higher engine speeds than nor-
mal until the automatic transmission
fluid reaches normal operating tem-
perature.
Do not race a cold engine immediately
•
after starting. This could prevent fluids
from properly lubricating vital compo-
nents in the engine before it has
reached the proper operating tempera-
ture.
The engine should be idling when the
•
gear selector is moved. Never acceler-
ate until the gear is fully engaged.
Accelerating rapidly before a gear is
properly engaged could lead to harder
wear of components.
To help prevent the transmission oil
•
from overheating, select P or N when
idling at a standstill for prolonged peri-
ods of time.

NOTE
With a cold start, idling speed may be con-
siderably higher than normal for certain
engine types. This is done to get the emis-
sions system up to normal operating tem-
perature as quickly as possible, which min-
imizes exhaust emissions and protects the
environment.
