AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION

CAUTION!

Damage to the transmission may occur if the follow-
ing precautions are not observed:
Shift into PARK only after the vehicle has come to

a complete stop.

Shift into or out of REVERSE only after the

vehicle has come to a complete stop and the engine
is at idle speed.

Do not shift from REVERSE, PARK, or NEUTRAL

into any forward gear when the engine is above
idle speed.

Before shifting into any gear, make sure your foot

is firmly on the brake pedal.

WARNING!

It is dangerous to move the shift lever out of PARK or
NEUTRAL if the engine speed is higher than idle
speed. If your foot is not firmly on the brake pedal,
the vehicle could accelerate quickly forward or in
reverse. You could lose control of the vehicle and hit
someone or something. Only shift into gear when the
engine is idling normally and when your right foot is
firmly on the brake pedal.

General Information

The automatic transmission selects individual gears au-
tomatically, dependent upon:
