Using the Clutch

Good Driving Practices
The clutch should be pressed all the
way to the floor before shifting, then
released slowly. Do not rest your foot
on the clutch pedal while driving. This
can cause unnecessary wear.
Do not partially engage the clutch to
hold the vehicle on an incline. This
causes unnecessary wear.
Use the parking brake to hold the
vehicle on an incline. Do not operate
the clutch pedal rapidly and repeat-
edly.
o Never take the vehicle out of gear
and coast down a hill. This is ex-
tremely hazardous. Always leave
the vehicle 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.
