This is extremely  hazardous. Keep the  car

braking will help you maintain a safe speed.
Don't "ride"  the brake  pedal. Resting  your
foot on the brake pedal while driving can be
dangerousbecauseitcanresultinthebrakes
overheating and losing their effectiveness. It
also increases the  wear of the  brake com-
ponents.
If a tire goes flat while you are driving, apply
the brakes gently and keep  the car pointed
straight ahead while you slow  down. When
youaremovingslowlyenoughforittobesafe
to do so, pull off the road and stop in a safe
place.
If  your car  is equipped  with  an automatic
transaxle, don't  let your car creep  forward.
To avoid creeping forward, keep your foot on
the brake pedal  when the car is  stopped.
Use caution when parking on a hill. Engage
the parking brake and place the gear selec-
torleverin"P"(automatictransaxle)orinfirst
or reverse gear  (manual transaxle). If  your
car is facing downhill,  turn the front wheels
into the curb to help keep the car from rolling.
If  your  car is  facing  uphill,  turn  the  front
wheels away from the curb to help keep the
car from rolling. If  there is no curb or if  it is
required by other conditions to keep the car
from rolling, block  the wheels.

Under some conditions  your parking brake
can freeze in  the engaged position. This is
most  likely  to  happen  when  there  is   an
accumulation of snow or ice around or near
the rear  brakes or if  the brakes are  wet. If
there is  a risk  that the  parking brake  may
freeze,applyitonlytemporarilywhileyouput
the gear selector lever in "P" (automatic) or
in first  or reverse  gear  (manual transaxle)
and block the rear wheels so the car cannot
roll. Then release  the parking brake.

The Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) is designed
to prevent wheel lock-up during sudden braking
or on hazardous road surfaces. The  ABS con-
trol module monitors the wheel speed and con-
trols the pressure applied to each brake. Thus,
in emergency situations or on slick roads, ABS
will increase vehicle  control during braking.
NOTE:
o
o
Do not hold the vehicle on the upgrade with
the accelerator  pedal. This  can cause  the
transmission  to overheat.  Always  use the
brake pedal  or parking brake.
During  ABS  operation,  a  slight  pulsation
may  be  felt  in the  brake  pedal  when  the
brakes  are applied.  Also,  a noise  may  be
heard  in  the   engine  compartment   while
braking. These  conditions are  normal and
indicate that  the anti-lock  brake system  is
functioning  properly.

Kathryn on Apr 27, 2015. I'm having nothing but trouble

I bought this used and the battery isn't completely dead but it won't start and my key won't work in the trunk to get to the spare tire, because I also have a flat.
