How to warm up an automatic transmission:
1. Start the engine: Start the car engine and let it idle for a few minutes.
2. Move the shift lever to Park (P): Keep your foot on the brake pedal and move the shift lever to the Park position.
3. Hold down the brake pedal: Continue to press the brake pedal and hold it down throughout the warm-up period.
4. Switch between gearshift modes: Move the gearshift lever through all positions (P, R, N, D) at intervals of several seconds.
5. Hold each mode: Hold the shift lever in each position for a few seconds to allow transmission fluid to circulate through the system.
6. Repeat the cycle: Repeat steps 4 and 5 for 10-15 minutes.
7. Wait a few seconds: Once warmed up, shift the shift lever into Park and hold it there for a few seconds to allow the transmission fluid to settle.
Important:
* Do not warm up the transmission at high speed or under load.
* Warm up the transmission only when it is cold outside.
* Maintain and change transmission fluid regularly according to manufacturer’s recommendations.
