Good driving practices
•  Always use  the parking  brake. Do not
depend on  placing  the transaxle  in P
(Park) to keep the car from moving.
WARNING
Never  move  the   gear  selector  lever
from  P  (Park)  or  N  (Neutral)  to  any
other   position   with  the   accelerator
pedal depressed.
•  Always buckle-up!   In a collision,
an  unbelted occupant  is  signifi-
cantly more likely to be  seriously
injured  or killed  than  a properly
belted occupant.
•  Avoid high  speeds when  corner-
ing or turning.
Exercise extreme caution when driving
on  a  slippery  surface.  Be  especially
careful  when braking,  accelerating  or
shifting  gears. On  a slippery  surface,
an abrupt change in vehicle speed can
cause the drive wheels to lose  traction
and the vehicle to go out of  control.
Never move the gear selector lever into
P (Park) when the vehicle is in motion.
Be sure the  car is completely stopped
before  you   attempt   to  shift   into  R
(Reverse) or D (Drive).
•  Do
not   make    quick   steering
Optimum   vehicle   performance   and
economy   is   obtained   by   smoothly
depressing and releasing the accelera-
tor pedal.
wheel movements, such as sharp
lane changes or fast, sharp turns.
Never  take  the  car  out  of  gear  and
coast   down    a   hill.   This   may   be
extremely hazardous. Always leave the
car in gear when moving.
Do  not   "ride"  the   brakes.  This  can
cause them  to overheat  and malfunc-
tion.  Instead,  when   you  are   driving
down a long hill, slow down and shift to
a lower gear. When you do this, engine
braking will help slow the car.
•  The   risk  of   rollover  is   greatly
increased  if  you lose  control  of
your vehicle at highway speeds.
•  Loss  of  control  often  occurs   if
two or  more wheels  drop off  the
roadway   and   the   driver   over-
steers to reenter the roadway.
•  In  the event  your  vehicle leaves
the roadway, do not steer sharply.
Instead, slow down before pulling
back into the travel lanes.
•  Never  exceed posted  speed  lim-
its.
Slow  down before  shifting  to a  lower
gear.  Otherwise, the  lower  gear  may
not be engaged.
