Good Driving Practices
o
Turn the overdrive switch on for good fuel
economy and smooth driving. If engine brak-
ing is needed in the "D" range or if repeated
upshifting and downshifting between the 3rd
and 4th gear is needed when climbing a
gentle slope, it is recommended that the
overdrive switch be turned off. Turn the over-
drive switch back on immediately afterward.
o
Never move the gear selector lever from "P"
or "N" to any other position with the acceler-
ator pedal depressed.
o
o
o
Never move the gear selector lever into "P"
when the vehicle is in motion.
Be sure the car is completely stopped before
you attempt to shift into "R".
Never take the car out of gear and coast
down a hill. This may be extremely hazard-
ous. Always leave the car in gear when
moving.
!
WARNING:
o
o
The risk of rollover is greatly increased if
you lose control of your vehicle at high-
way speeds.
Loss of control often occurs if two or
more wheels drop off the roadway and
the driver oversteers to reenter the road-
way.
In the event your vehicle leaves the road-
way, do not steer sharply. Instead, slow
down before pulling back into the travel
lanes.
In a collision crash, an unbelted person is
significantly more likely to die than a
person wearing a seatbelt.
o
Do not "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.
Otherwise, the lower gear may not be en-
gaged.
Always use the parking brake. Do not de-
pend on placing the transaxle in "P" to keep
the car from moving.
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 vehicle
speed can cause the drive wheels to lose
traction and the vehicle to go out of control.

If you cannot move the shift lever from the "P"
(Park) position to any other position with the
brake pedal fully depressed and the ignition key
in the "ON" position, remove the cap on the
console with a thin object such as a pencil, push
the shift lock release button down. Then, with
the brake pedal depressed, move the shift lever
to the desired position, then the shift lock re-
lease button will automatically return to its origi-
nal position after shifting from the "P" (Park)
position. Then, reinstall the cap.
