OverviewControlsMaintenanceRepairsDataIndex
Automatic transmission*
Before leaving the vehicle when
the engine is running, move the
selector lever to the "Park" or "Neutral"
position and apply the parking brake to
prevent the vehicle from rolling.
Never leave the vehicle unattended
with the engine running. An unattended
vehicle with a running engine repre-
sents a potential safety hazard.
If you should accidentally select
"Neutral" while traveling at high speed,
remove your foot from the accelerator
pedal immediately. Allow the engine
speed to drop to idle before selecting
the desired drive position. Damage
could otherwise occur due to excessive
engine speed.<
P Park
Select only when the vehicle is com-
pletely stopped. The transmission locks
to prevent the rear wheels from turning.
R Reverse
Select only when the vehicle is com-
pletely stopped.
N Neutral (idle)
Select only if your journey is interrupted
for a longer period.
D Drive
(automatic shift program)
This position is designed for driving
under all normal operating conditions.
All forward gears are available.
Under normal operating conditions, fuel
consumption is lowest when driving in
position D.
4 – Sport Program
The Sport Program is designed for per-
formance-oriented driving.
3 and 2 – shift limiter
Select this range when you wish to limit
gear changes (on steep uphill or down-
hill slopes, for instance). The transmis-
sion shifts up only as far as the selected
gear limit.
"Kickdown"
In the "kickdown" mode, you achieve
maximum performance.
Depress the accelerator pedal past the
resistance point at the full-throttle posi-
tion.
