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
onimmediatelyafterward.
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 If your vehicle becomes stuck in
snow, mud, sand, etc., then you
may attempt to rock the vehicle
freebymovingitforwardandback-
ward. Do not attempt this proce-
dure if people or objects are any-
wherenearthevehicle.Duringthe
rockingoperationthevehiclemay
suddenly move forward of back-
wardasitbecomesunstuck,caus-
ing injury or damage to nearby
people or objects.
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.
o Optimum vehicle performance and
economy is obtained by smoothly

eratorpedal.
