Starting and operating

Automatic transmission

The automatic transmission is electronically controlled

with 4-forward speeds and 1-reverse speed.

NOTE

Immediately after a disconnected battery is recon-

nected or ATF (automatic transmission fluid) is re-

placed, you may feel that the automatic transmis-

sion operation is somewhat unusual.

This results from erasure or invalidation of data

the on-board computer has collected and stored in

memory to allow the transmission to shift at the

most appropriate times for the current condition

of your vehicle. Optimized shifting will be restored

as the vehicle continues to be driven for a while.

Do not shift from the “P” or “N” position into

the “D”, “3”, “2”, “1” or “R” position while de-

pressing the accelerator pedal. This may cause

the vehicle to jump forward or backward.

Shift into the “P” or “R” position only after

the vehicle is completely stopped. Shifting

while the vehicle is moving may cause damage

to the transmission.

Do not race the engine for more than five sec-

onds in any position except the “N” or “P” po-

sition when the brake is set or the tires are on

blocks. This may cause the automatic transmis-

sion fluid to overheat.

Avoid shifting from one of the forward driving

positions into the “R” position or vice versa un-

til the vehicle has completely stopped. Such

shifting may cause damage to the transmis-

sion.
