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.
o
o
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.
Rockingthevehicleisnotrecommended.
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.
The risk of rollover is greatly increased if
you lose control of your vehicle  at high-
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.
