The vehicle will begin to move as soon as the gear is engaged, especially when the engine speed is high, at fast idle or with the air conditioning operating, the brakes should only be released when you are ready to drive away.
(2) Depress the brake pedal with the right foot at all times. Using the left foot could cause driver movement delay in case of an emergency.
(3) To prevent sudden acceleration, never race the engine when shifting from the “P” (PARK) or “N” (NEUTRAL).
