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.

damage.
o Slow down when you encounter
cross winds. This gives you much
better control of your car.

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.
