when the vehicle is stopped in the “D” or
“R” position.

when parking your vehicle. Do not hold
the vehicle with only the mechanical
friction of the transmission.

position on an uphill grade by using the
“D” position. Use the brake instead.

knock when the vehicle rapidly accelerates or rapidly pulls away from a standstill.
