If a malfunction is detected in the automatic transmission control system, contact your dealer or service station immediately.
If, after starting the engine, the engine malfunction indicator light flashes constantly and the automatic transmission does not shift, use the procedure for unlocking the box, described above in section «Switching the selector from the position «R», and have your vehicle checked and repaired by a service station.
Caution: If you are leaving your vehicle, take the following precautions to prevent accidental movement of the vehicle:
- turn off the ignition, fully apply the parking brake and remove the key from the ignition;
- always apply the parking brake. Do not use instead of the parking brake, switching the selector lever to the position «R» (parking);
- Do not leave the car with the engine running unattended.
Attention: when switching automatic transmission ranges, the car may suddenly start moving. Doing so could result in loss of vehicle control, injury to bystanders, and property damage. Therefore, always switch the selector from the positions «R» (parking) or «N» (neutral) in forward or reverse driving ranges only with the brake pedal fully depressed. This will prevent your vehicle from moving unexpectedly.
To avoid damage to the automatic transmission and transmission of the car, do not press the accelerator pedal when switching the range selector lever from the positions «R» (parking) or «N» (neutral) in one of the positions «R» (reverse), «D4» (movement), «2» or «1».
Keep the brake pedal fully depressed when shifting transmission ranges.
Disabled when range is on «2» move over a distance of more than 8 km at a speed of more than 90 km/h. Try to use the range as often as possible «D4» (movement).
Never put the selector lever in position «R» (parking) or «R» (reverse) on a moving car. Move the selector lever to the indicated positions only after the vehicle has come to a complete stop.
When stopping on an incline, do not attempt to hold the vehicle stationary by adjusting the traction force of the drive wheels with the accelerator pedal. To keep the vehicle from rolling on a slope, use the service brake system.
When driving on a slippery road, select the HOLD position and «D4». The car will move in third gear, which will significantly reduce slippage and loss of traction.
