If the engine speed is above the idling speed
and you engage transmission position D or
R, the vehicle could pull away suddenly. There
is a risk of an accident.
When engaging transmission position D or R, always firmly depress the brake pedal and do not simultaneously accelerate.

The automatic transmission switches to
neutral position N when you switch off the
engine. The vehicle may roll away. There is a
