TRANSMISSION AND BRAKE SYSTEM

DRIVING TIPS FOR AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION

Starting and Driving Off

1. Always start the engine while the selector lever is in “P”

and the brake pedal is depressed. For your safety, avoid

starting the engine from “N” even though you can do so.

2. Check whether or not the engine speed is in a normal

operating range (below 1,000 rpm). Keep the brake pedal

depressed and shift into “-D+” or “R”.

3. Do not drive off or sharply accelerate the vehicle after shift-

ing into the

“-D+” position. Wait for a while several sec-

onds before driving off with the brake pedal depressed.

4. To move the vehicle, release the brake pedal and depress

the accelerator pedal gradually.

Creep Phenomenon

Without any depression of the accelerator pedal, your ve-

hicle can move slowly if the selector lever is in any posi-

tion other than

“P” or “N”. This is called the creep effect.

You can control your vehicle’s movement by only apply-

ing the brake in heavy traffic or narrow areas.

• When starting the engine with the accelerator depressed, your ve-

hicle may abruptly move and cause an accident.

• When the parking brake is released while the engine is running at a

high rpm, your vehicle may abruptly move. Therefore, wait until the

engine speed becomes stable.

• Do not abruptly drive off or sharply accelerate the vehicle after shift-

ing into “-D+”. Otherwise the transmission will be damaged.

Especially, when you start off on a hill after stopping and parking

the vehicle, wait for a while until the “D1” shift indicator comes

on for several seconds with the brake pedal depressed.

• On a steep decline or incline, your vehicle may move in the oppo-

site direction of the intended direction in spite of the creep effect.

When stopping on a steep hill, always depress the brake pedal.

• Never move the selector lever to the “N” position while driving.

By doing so, the engine brake cannot be applied. This may re-

sult in unwanted accidents.
