AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION

WARNINGS

Always set the parking brake fully
and make sure the gearshift is
latched in P (Park). Turn the ignition

to the off position and remove the key
whenever you leave your vehicle.

Do not apply the brake pedal and
accelerator pedal simultaneously.
Applying both pedals simultaneously

for more than three seconds will limit
engine rpm, which may result in difficulty
maintaining speed in traffic and could lead
to serious injury.
