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.
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

o  Never take the car out of gear and
coast down a hill. This is extremely
hazardous. Always leave the car in
gear.

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.
