Good Driving Practices
The clutch should  be pressed all the
way to  the floor before  shifting, then
released   slowly.  The  clutch   pedal
should always be  used after fully  re-
turning to the original position. Do not
rest your foot on the clutch pedal while
driving. This can  cause unnecessary
wear.Donotpartiallyengagetheclutch
to  hold  the  car  on an  incline.  This
causes  unnecessary wear.  Use  the
parking brake  to hold  the car  on an
incline.Donotoperatetheclutchpedal
rapidly and repeatedly.
o  Never take the car out of gear and
coast down a hill. This is extremely
hazardous. Always leave the car in
gear.
o  Don't  "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.
o  Slowdownbeforeshiftingtoalower
gear. This will help avoid over-rev-
ving the  engine, which  can cause
damage.
o  Slow  down  when  you  encounter
cross winds.  This gives you much
better control of your car.
o  Besurethecariscompletelystopped
before you attempt  to shift into re-
verse.  The  transmission   can  be
damaged if you do not. To shift into
reverse, depress the  clutch, move
the shift lever to neutral, wait three
seconds, then  shift to  the reverse
position.

When downshifting from fifth gear
to fourth  gear,  caution should  be
taken not to inadvertently press the
gear shift lever sideways in such a
manner  that  second   gear  is  en-
gaged.  Such  a  drastic  downshift
may cause the engine speed to in-
crease to the point that the tachom-
eter will  enter  the red-zone.  Such
over-revving   of  the  engine   may
possibly cause engine damage.
