Good Driving Practices
o Exerciseextremecautionwhendriv-
ing on a slippery surface. Be espe-
ciallycarefulwhenbraking,acceler-
atingorshiftinggears.Onaslippery
surface, an abrupt change in ve-
hicle speed can cause the drive
wheels to lose traction and the ve-
hicle to go out of control.
o Turn the overdrive switch on for
goodfueleconomyandsmoothdriv-
ing. If engine braking is needed in
the "D" range or if repeated upshift-
ing and downshifting between 3rd
and 4th gear is needed when climb-
ingagentleslope,itisrecommended
that the overdrive switch be turned
off. Turn the overdrive switch back
on immediately afterward.
o Never move the gear selector lever
from "P" or "N" to any other position
with the accelerator pedal de-
pressed.
o Never move the gear selector lever
into "P" when the vehicle is in mo-
tion.
o Besurethecariscompletelystopped
before you attempt to shift into "R".
o Never take the car out of gear and
coast down a hill. This may be ex-
tremely hazardous. Always leave
the car in gear when moving.
o Do not "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 the overdrive switch is turned
on, the transaxle will automatically
upshift to the second, third and over-
drivegears.Whentheoverdriveswitch
is turned off, the transaxle will not
upshift to the overdrive gear. For nor-
mal driving, the selector lever should
be left in the "D" position and the
overdrive switch turned on.
Ifyouneedtoacceleraterapidly,press
the accelerator pedal all the way to the
floor. The transaxle will automatically
shift to a lower gear, depending on the
vehicle speed and load.

o Always use the parking brake. Do
not depend on placing the transaxle
in "P" to keep the car from moving.
