CONTROLS AND INSTRUMENTS
Before Driving
The automatic transmission controls clutch engagement/disengagement and
appropriate gear shifting according to the engine speed and driving conditions without
need for manual adjustments. Make sure you fully understand the characteristics of the
automatic transmission and form a habit of operating the vehicle correctly.
WARNING
Fully depress the brake pedal to prevent the vehicle from moving even if it is
stopped on a level road, and place the selector lever into "N" and set the parking
brake as needed.
The engine speed is higher immediately after its start, while the air conditioning
is in operation. This makes the transmission produce stronger creeping force
than usual. You need to firmly depress the brake pedal.
When the engine speed is increased with the idling control knob, the creeping
effect works more strongly than usual. When placing the selector lever
into any position other than "N", return the idling control knob to the fully
counterclockwise position.

NOTE
You can utilize the creeping effect of the transmission to move your vehicle
smoothly in a traffic jam or in a narrow space by controlling the speed without
using the accelerator pedal but using only the brake pedal.
