Automatic Transmission When it is necessary to reduce vehicle speed due to slow traffic, turning corners, or driving up steep hills, downshift to a lower gear before the engine starts to labor.
On steep downgrades, downshift the transmission to 5th, 4th, 3rd or 2nd gear as necessary; this helps to maintain a safe speed and to extend brake pad life.
In this way, the engine provides a braking effect. Remember, if you“ ride”( over use) the brakes while descending a hill, they may overheat and not work properly.
The engine may, on rare occasions, knock when the vehicle rapidly accelerates or rapidly pulls away from a standstill. This phenomenon is not an indication of a problem in your vehicle.
With the exception of cases where sudden acceleration is required, do not drive the vehicle with the pointer of the tachometer inside the red area. Failure to observe this precaution can lead to excessive engine wear and poor fuel economy.
7-6. Automatic Transmission The automatic transmission is electronically controlled and provides 6 forward speeds and 1 reverse speed. It also has a manual mode. WARNING Do not shift from the“ P” or“ N” position into the“ D” or“ R” position while depressing the accelerator pedal. This may cause the vehicle to lurch forward or backward.
CAUTION
� Observe the following precautions. Failure to observe these precautions could cause damage to the transmission.
- Shift into the“ P” or“ R” position only after the vehicle has completely stopped.
- Do not shift from the“ D” position into the“ R” position or vice versa until the vehicle has completely stopped.
