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 Always wear your seat belts.
In a collision crash, an unbelted
personissignificantlymorelikely
to die than a person wearing a
seat belt.
o The risk of rollover is greatly in-
creased if you lose control of
your vehicle at highway speeds.
o Loss of control often occurs if
two or more wheels drop off the
roadwayandthedriveroversteers
to reenter the roadway.
o In the event your vehicle leaves
theroadway,donotsteersharply.
Instead, slow down before pull-
ing back into the travel lanes.
o Never exceed posted speed lim-
its.
o Excessive depressing of the
accelerater pedal under the tire
slip condition such as moving
out of the mud or fresh snow etc,
may cause severe damage to the
transmission. At this time, take
other way such as towing.
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.

changes or fast, sharp turns.
