Driving your vehicle
Good driving practices
• Always use the parking brake. Do not
depend on placing the transmission in
P (Park) to keep the vehicle from mov-
ing.
WARNING

Never move the shift lever from P
(Park) or N (Neutral) to any other posi-
• Always buckle-up! In a collision,
an unbelted occupant is signifi-

injured or killed than a properly
belted occupant.

•
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 shift lever into P (Park)
when the vehicle is in motion.
•
Avoid high speeds when corner-
ing or turning.
Be sure the vehicle is completely
stopped before you attempt to shift into
R (Reverse) or D (Drive).
• Do
not make quick steering
wheel movements, such as sharp
lane changes or fast, sharp turns.
•
•
Never take the vehicle out of gear and
coast down a hill. This may be
extremely hazardous. Always leave the
vehicle in gear when moving.
•
Optimum vehicle performance and
economy is obtained by smoothly
depressing and releasing the accelera-
tor pedal.
• The risk of rollover is greatly
increased if you lose control of
your vehicle at highway speeds.
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 vehicle.
• Lossing 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.
•
Slow down before shifting to a lower
gear. Otherwise, the lower gear may
not be engaged.
•
Never exceed posted speed lim-
its.
