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
overdrive switch back on immediately after-
ward.

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, an unbelted person is
significantly more likely to die than a
person wearing a seat belt.
Never exceed posted speed limits.
Excessive depressing of the accelerater
pedal in slippery driving conditions such
as pulling out of deep snow or mud may
cause severe damage to the transaxle.

Rather, use an appropriate towing
method.
o
Never move the gear selector lever from "P"
or "N" to any other position with the accelera-
tor 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
Avoid high cornering speeds.
Do not make quick steering wheel move-
ments, such as sharp lane changes or
fast, sharp turns.
Always wear your seat belts.
In a collision, unbelted person is signifi-
cantly more likely to be seriously injured
or killed than a person wearing a seat
belt.
The risk of rollover is greatly increased if
you lose control of your vehicle at high-
way speeds.

way speeds.
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 ve-
hicle speed can cause the drive wheels to
lose traction and the vehicle to go out of
control.

Loss of control often occurs if two or
more wheels drop off the roadway and
the driver oversteers to reenter the road-
way.
