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 .
