Using the Clutch
Recommended Shift Points
Good Driving Practices
The clutch should be pressed all the way to the
floor before shifting, then released slowly. The
clutch pedal should always be fully released
while driving. Do not rest your foot on the clutch
pedal while driving. This can cause unneces-
sary wear.
Do not partially engage the clutch to hold the car
on an incline. This causes unnecessary wear.
Use the foot brake or parking brake to hold the

Never take the car out of gear and coast
down a hill. This is extremely hazardous.
Always leave the car in gear.

o
Don't "ride" the brakes. This can cause them
to overheat and malfunction. Instead, when
you are driving down a long hill, slow down
and shift to a lower gear. When you do this,
engine braking will help slow the car.
Slow down before shifting to a lower gear.
This will help avoid over-revving the engine,
which can cause damage.

This gives you much better control of your
car.
Be sure the car is completely stopped before
you attempt to shift into reverse. The
transaxle can be damaged if you do not. To
shift into reverse, depress the clutch, move
the shift lever to neutral, wait three seconds,
then shift to the reverse position.

Exercise extreme caution when driving on a
slippery surface. Be especially careful when
braking, accelerating or shifting gears. On a
slippery surface, an abrupt change in ve-
hicle speed can cause the drive wheels to
lose traction and the vehicle to go out of
control.
