Driving Technique
D-4th
Use the
D4
range for normal in-town and highway driving. The car
wil l start off in 1st and shift automatically to 2nd, 3rd, and 4th. The
further down you push the accelerator, the later the transmission
will shift and the faster the car will accelerate.
D3-3rd
Use of D3 will allow the transmission to start off in 1st and shift
automatically to 2nd and 3rd. Use D3 when climbing grades to
prevent the transmission from "hunting" between 3rd and 4th gear;
or when increased braking is needed.
NOTE:
If rapid acceleration is necessary, depress the accelerator to the
floor; the transmission will automatically shift down according to
toad and engine speed. This applies to both D4 and D3 ranges.
S Mode
Pushing the Sports switch ( ) while driving in the D4 or D3 range
will change the shift points under part throttle acceleration, allowing
the transmission to stay in each tower gear for a longer period
before automatically upshifting. With the Sports switch on, the S
indicator light in the instrument panel will come on. To take the
transmission out of S mode, push the Sports switch again. The S
indicator light will go out.
NOTE:
Although the S indicator light in the instrument panel will come on in
any gear range when the Sports switch is pushed, this mode is
selectable only in the D3 and D4 range.
