Tips when driving an automatic vehicle.
Vehicles fitted with automatic transmission are easier to drive for there is no need
for gear changes or clutch operation. But you must learn the techniques related to its
use.
1. When the shift lever is in any position other than “P” or “N”, the vehicle may
creep forward even when the accelerator is not pressed.
2. When stationary, even on level ground, apply the foot brake to prevent the
vehicle moving.
3. If the air conditioner is operating the engine will be idling faster than normal and
may cause the vehicle movement to be greater.
