WARNING
Never   move  the   shift  lever   into  P
(Park) when the vehicle is in motion.
Be   sure  the   vehicle   is   completely
stopped before you attempt to shift into
R (Reverse) or D (Drive).
Never take the vehicle 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 down  the vehi-
cle.
Slow  down before  shifting  to a  lower
gear.  Otherwise, the  lower  gear  may
not be engaged.
Always use  the parking brake.  Do not
depend on  placing  the transaxle  in P
(Park) to  keep  the vehicle  from mov-
ing.
Exercise extreme caution when driving
on  a  slippery  surface.  Be  especially
careful  when braking,  accelerating  or

Always buckle-up!  In  a collision,

Moving up a steep grade from a stand-
ing start
Losing control often occurs if two
or more wheels drop off the road-
way and  the driver oversteers  to
reenter the roadway.
To move up a  steep grade from a stand-
ing start,  depress the  brake pedal,  shift
the  shift  lever  to D  (Drive).  Select  the
appropriate   gear   depending   on   load
weight and  steepness of the  grade, and
release  the parking  brake. Depress  the
accelerator gradually while releasing  the
service brakes.
In  the event  your vehicle  leaves
the roadway, do not steer sharply.
Instead,
slow

pulling back into the travel lanes.
