DRIVING FOR ECONOMY

o  Don't coast down hills  with the car
out of gear. This is  extremely haz-
ardous. Keep the car  in gear at all
times, use the brakes to slow down,
then shift  to  a lower  gear so  that
engine braking will help  you main-
tain a safe speed.
o  Don't "ride" the brake  pedal. Rest-
ing  your foot  on  the  brake pedal
while driving can be dangerous be-
cause  it can  result  in  the brakes
overheating and losing  their effec-
tiveness.
matic transaxle) or in first or reverse
gear (manual transaxle). If your car
is  facing  downhill,  turn  the  front
wheelsintothecurbtohelpkeepthe
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.
o  Under some  conditions your park-
ing brake can freeze in the engaged
position. This is most likely to hap-
pen 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, apply it only tem-
porarily while you put  the gear se-
lector lever in "P" (automatic) or  in
first   or   reverse   gear    (manual
transaxle)andblocktherearwheels
so the car cannot roll. Then release
the parking brake.

You can save fuel and get more miles
from your car if you follow these sug-
gestions:
o  Drive  smoothly.   Accelerate  at  a
moderate  rate. Don't  make  "jack-
rabbit"  starts  or  full-throttle  shifts
and  maintain   a  steady   cruising
speed.  Don't  race between  stop-
lights. Try  to adjust your  speed to
that of the other traffic so you don't
have to  change speeds  unneces-
sarily. Avoid heavy traffic whenever
possible.  Always maintain  a  safe
distance from other vehicles so you
canavoidunnecessarybraking.This
also reduces brake wear.
o  Drive  at  a  moderate  speed. The
faster you drive, the more fuel your
car  uses.  Driving  at  a  moderate
speed,especiallyonthehighway,is
one of  the most  effective ways  to
reduce fuel consumption.
It  also increases  the  wear of  the
brake components.
o  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 you are
moving slowly  enough for  it to  be
safe to do so, pull off the road  and
stop in a safe place.
o  If your car is equipped with an auto-
matic transaxle,  don't let  your car
creep  forward. To  avoid creeping
forward,keepyourfootonthebrake
pedal when the car is stopped.
o  Use caution when parking on a hill.

grade  with the  accelerator  pedal.
This  can  cause  the  transaxle  to
overheat.  Always  use   the  brake
