Before Driving
The automatic transmission controls clutch engagement/disengagement and gear
shifting appropriately 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
Even when the vehicle is in a stop on a level road, fully depress the brake pedal,
press the neutral button to select the "N" position and engage the parking brake
as needed to prevent the vehicle from moving.
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 selecting any position other than
"N", turn the idling control knob back fully counterclockwise.
