MPORTANT OTES
Failure to comply with the following may damage the
transmission:
□
Shift into PARK (P) mode only with the vehicle at a
standstill.
□
Select REVERSE (R) mode, or pass from REVERSE to
another mode only with the vehicle at a standstill
and engine idling.
□
Do not change between PARK (P), REVERSE (R),
NEUTRAL (N) or DRIVE (D) modes with engine
running at a speed above idling.
□
Before activating any transmission operating mode,
fully press the brake pedal.
WARNING!
□
It is dangerous to shift out of PARK or NEUTRAL if
the engine speed is higher than idle speed. If your
foot is not firmly pressing the brake pedal, the
vehicle could accelerate quickly forward or in
reverse. You could lose control of the vehicle and
hit someone or something. Only shift into gear
when the engine is idling normally and your foot is
firmly pressing the brake pedal.
□
Unintended movement of a vehicle could injure those
in or near the vehicle. As with all vehicles, you should
never exit a vehicle while the engine is running.
Before exiting a vehicle, always apply the parking
brake, shift the transmission into PARK, and turn the
ignition OFF. When the ignition is in the OFF position,
the transmission is locked in PARK, securing the
vehicle against unwanted movement.
□
When leaving the vehicle, always make sure the
ignition is in the OFF position, remove the key fob
from the vehicle, and lock the vehicle.

□
Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or with
access to an unlocked vehicle. Allowing children to
be in a vehicle unattended is dangerous for a
number of reasons. A child or others could be
seriously or fatally injured. Children should be
warned not to touch the parking brake, brake
pedal or the transmission gear selector.
□
Do not leave the key fob in or near the vehicle (or
in a location accessible to children), and do not
leave the ignition in the ON/RUN or ACC position. A
child could operate power windows, other controls,
or move the vehicle.
□
Only engage the gear with engine at idling while
fully pressing the brake pedal. If the transmission
temperature exceeds the normal operating limits,
the transmission control unit may change the gear
engagement order and reduce the drive torque. If
the transmission overheats, it could operate
incorrectly until it cools down.
□
When using the vehicle with extremely low external
temperatures, the transmission operation may
change depending on the engine and
transmission temperature, as well as vehicle
speed. Activation of the torque converter clutch
and of the EIGHTH gear is inhibited until the
transmission oil is correctly warmed up. Complete
operation of the transmission will be enabled as
soon as the fluid temperature reaches the
predefined value.
