Operation of the automatic transmission INVECS-II
CAUTION

fully depress the brake pedal to prevent the vehicle from creeping.

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.

with the right foot at all times. Using the left foot could cause driver movement
delay in case of an emergency.

the engine when shifting from the “P” (PARK) or “N” (NEUTRAL).

accelerator pedal while the other foot is resting on the brake pedal will affect
braking efficiency and may cause prematurewear of brake pads. Do not race the engine
with brake pedal pressed. This can damage the transmission.
