!
CAUTION:
o  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 mal-
function.Instead,whenyouaredriv-
ing down a long hill, slow down and
shift to a lower gear. When you do
this, engine  braking will help  slow
the car.
When downshifting from fifth gear
to fourth  gear,  caution should  be
taken not to inadvertently press the
gear lever sideways in such a man-
ner that  second  gear is  engaged.
Suchadrasticdownshiftmaycause
the engine speed to increase to the
point that the tachometer will enter
the red-zone. Such over-revving of
the engine may possibly cause en-
gine damage.

Using the Clutch
o  Slow  down  when  you  encounter
cross winds. This  gives you much
better control of your car.
The clutch should  be pressed all the
way to  the floor before  shifting, then
released   slowly.  The  clutch   pedal
should always be  used after fully  re-
turning to the original position. Do not
rest your foot on the clutch pedal while
driving. This can  cause unnecessary
wear.Donotpartiallyengagetheclutch
