Driving tips
Accelerator pedal position
Your style of driving influences how the
automatic transmission shifts gear:
Little throttle:
early upshifts
More throttle:
later upshifts
Kickdown
Use kickdown for maximum acceleration.
Depress the accelerator pedal beyond
the pressure point.
The automatic transmission shifts
down one gear, depending on the engine
speed.
Release the accelerator pedal as soon
as the desired speed has been
reached.
The automatic transmission shifts back
up again, depending on the engine
speed.
Stopping the vehicle
If you are only stopping briefly:
Leave the selector lever in the driving
position.
Use the brake to make sure that the vehicle
does not roll away.
Manoeuvring
If manoeuvring within a confined space:
Control the speed by braking carefully.
Accelerate only slightly and avoid jerking.
