OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Kick-down
When the accelerator pedal is depressed
past full throttle position, kick-down is ob-
tained, that
is,
there is an immediate shift-
ing down to the next lower gear. As soon
as a maximum speed for this gear has
been reached or if the accelerator pedal is
eased from the kick-down position, au to-
matic shifting takes places to the next
higher gear.
Driving
Starting the engine
Move the selector to P or N. The start-
ing switch will be put out of function if the
selector is moved to any of the other posi-
tions.
Carry out the following procedure when
starting:
1.
Check to make sure that the parking
brake is on or depress the brake pedal
(otherwise the car will start creeping
when the selector is moved to any of
the driving positions).
2. Move the selector to the intended driv-
ing position
.
3.
Release the brake and drive off.
The car is stopped in the usual way by
releasing the accelerator pedal and de-
pressing the brake pedal. It is not neces-
sary to move the selector.
If the car gets stuck in snow, loose sand,
etc., it can be "rocked" loose by moving
the selector alternately between the
"
O"
and R positions during continuous light
accelerator pressure.
