running smoothly,  you can  drive away.  In
verycoldweather,however,giveyourengine
a slightly longer warm-up period.
Don't "lug" or "over-rev" the engine. Lugging
is driving too slowly in too high a gear result-

to a lower gear.  Over-revving is racing the
engine beyond  its  safe limit.  This can  be
avoided  by  shifting at  the  recommended
speeds.
