Continuously Variable Transmission

When the engine runs at higher idle speeds, the creeping force increases.
Keep the brake pedal firmly depressed when stopped.

Quickly depressing the accelerator pedal while driving uphill may cause the 
transmission to drop to a lower ratio, unexpectedly increasing vehicle speed. 
Depress the accelerator pedal carefully, especially on slippery roads and curves.
