Driving your vehicle
BRAKE SYSTEM
Shift locksystem
Power brakes
WARNING - Parking brake
For your safety, the Automatic Transaxle
has  a  shift  lock  system  which  prevents
shifting  the   transaxle  out  of  P   (Park)
unless the brake pedal is depressed.
Your vehicle has power-assisted brakes
that adjust automatically through normal
usage.
In  the   event  that   the   power-assisted
brakes lose power because of a stalled
engine  or  some  other  reason,  you  can
still stop your vehicle by applying greater
force  to  the  brake  pedal  than  you  nor-
mally would.The stopping distance, how-
ever, will be longer.
When  the   engine  is  not   running,  the
reserve brake power is partially depleted
each time the brake pedal is applied. Do
not  pump   the  brake   pedal  when   the
power assist has been interrupted.
Pump the brake pedal only when neces-
sary to maintain steering control on slip-
pery surfaces.
Pulling the parking brake while the
vehicle is moving at normal speeds
can cause a sudden loss of control
of the vehicle.  If you must use the
parking  brake  to stop  the  vehicle,
use  great  caution  in  applying  the
brake.
To shift the transaxle out of P (Park):
1.
2.
Depress and hold the brake pedal.
Start the engine or turn the ignition to
the ON position.
3.
Depress  the  lock  release  button  and
move the shift lever.
WARNING - Brakes
•  Do not drive with your foot rest-
ing  on  the  brake  pedal. This  will
create abnormal high brake tem-
peratures, excessive brake lining
and   pad   wear,  and   increased
stopping distances.
•  When descending a long or steep
hill, shift   to  a   lower  gear   and
avoid  continuous  application  of
the   brakes.   Continuous   brake
application will cause the brakes
to overheat and could result in a
temporary  loss   of  braking  per-
formance.
If    the    brake    pedal    is    repeatedly
depressed  and  released  with  the  shift
lever in the P (Park) position, a chattering
sound near the shift lever may be heard.
This is a normal condition.
Ignition key interlock system
The  ignition   key   cannot  be   removed     In the event  of brake failure
unless  the  shift  lever  is  in  the  P  (Park)
If service brakes fail to operate while the
position. If  the  ignition  switch  is  in  any
vehicle  is  in  motion,  you  can  make  an
other   position,    the    key   cannot    be
emergency stop with the parking brake.
removed.
The stopping distance, however, will be
much greater than normal.
