Accelerating From A Stop
FIRST (1st) and REVERSE (R) can only be engaged (at a
stop) by pressing “1” or “R” when the brake pedal is
pressed.
To drive, press the brake pedal, and select 1 (One) or R
(Reverse) by pressing “1” or “R” using the transmission
gear selector buttons on the center console. Then release
the brake pedal and smoothly press the accelerator pedal.
NOTE:When starting on a fairly steep incline, it may be
advisable to engage the parking brake.
The vehicle can only be launched (from a stop) in FIRST
(1st) or REVERSE (R). SECOND (2nd) gear (or higher)
cannot be engaged when the vehicle is stationary.
FIRST (1st) and REVERSE (R) gears can only be engaged
at vehicle speeds below 2 mph (3 km/h). At speeds
below 6 mph (10 km/h), attempts to shift from 1st to R
(or R to 1st) will only be allowed if the vehicle speeddrops below the 2 mph (3 km/h) threshold within three
seconds of the request; otherwise, the transmission will
shift to NEUTRAL (N). The driver should then repeat the
request for 1st or R once the vehicle has come to a stop.
Shift Paddles
In MANUAL mode, the steering wheel mounted shift
paddles (labeled + and -) control the transmission shift-
ing.
Tapping the (+) paddle will upshift the transmission to
the next higher gear, while tapping the (-) paddle will
downshift to the next lower gear. The current gear is
displayed in the instrument cluster. If a requested shift
would cause engine lugging or overspeed, that request
will be ignored.
In AUTO mode, tapping a shift paddle will temporarily
place the transmission in MANUAL mode, and execute
the requested upshift or downshift (if allowable). The

260 MAINTAINING YOUR VEHICLE

WARNING!
•Use only manufacturer’s recommended brake
fluid. Refer to “Fluids, Lubricants, and Genuine
Parts” in “Maintaining Your Vehicle” for further
information. Using the wrong type of brake fluid
can severely damage your brake system and/or
impair its performance. The proper type of brake
fluid for your vehicle is also identified on the
original factory installed hydraulic master cylinder
reservoir.
•To avoid contamination from foreign matter or
moisture, use only new brake fluid or fluid that has
been in a tightly closed container. Keep the master
cylinder reservoir cap secured at all times. Brake
fluid in a open container absorbs moisture from the
air resulting in a lower boiling point. This may
(Continued)
WARNING!(Continued)
cause it to boil unexpectedly during hard or pro-
longed braking, resulting in sudden brake failure.
This could result in a collision.
•Overfilling the brake fluid reservoir can result in
spilling brake fluid on hot engine parts, causing
the brake fluid to catch fire. Brake fluid can also
damage painted and vinyl surfaces, care should be
taken to avoid its contact with these surfaces.
•Do not allow petroleum-based fluid to contaminate
the brake fluid. Brake seal components could be
damaged, causing partial or complete brake failure.
This could result in a collision.
