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.
o Don't "ride" the brakes. This can
cause them to overheat and mal-
function.Instead,whenyouaredriv-

shift to a lower gear. When you do
this, engine braking will help slow
the car.
