Automatic transmission 1111111 __________________________ ___;__:..;____;_ ______ _
& WARNING (continued )
-When the selector lever is in a driving position , the vehi cle
may creep , even at idle speed . Therefore do not release the
parking brake or foot brake until you are ready to move ,
because power is transmitted to the wheels as soon as a
driving position is engaged.
- Do not accelerate while selecting a driving position. At this
time the engine must be at idle speed so that undue stress is
not placed on the clutches in the transmission.
- Remember : - even when stopped briefly with the automatic
transmission in "D", "S" or "R" , engine power is being trans
mitted to the wheels . Your vehicle could "creep " forward or
backward . When stopped , keep the brake pedal fully depressed
and use the parking brake if necessary to keep the vehicle from
rolling .
- If the sele ctor lever is unintentionally moved into N while you
are driving , take your foot off the accelerator pedal and wait for
the engine to return to idle speed before selecting a driving
position .
- Never shift into "R " or "P " when the vehicle is in motion .
- Never get out of the driver's seat when the engine is running.
- If you must get out of the vehicle , move the selector lever
securely into the P position and apply the parking brake firmly .
- If the engine must remain running, never have any driving
position engaged when checking under the hood. Make sure
the selector lever has securely engaged and is locked in "P "
with the parking brake firmly set :::::, page 289, "Engine
compartment ". Otherwise , any increase in engine speed may
set the vehicle in motion , even with the parking brake
applied .•
