Driving your vehicle
Good driving practices
•  Optimum   vehicle   performance   and
economy   is   obtained   by   smoothly
depressing and releasing the accelera-
tor pedal.
WARNING
Never  move   the  shift   lever  from   P
(Park) or N (Neutral) to any other posi-
If  your  vehicle  becomes  stuck  in
snow,  mud,  sand,   etc.,  then  you
may attempt to rock the vehicle free
by moving it forward and backward.
Do  not  attempt   this  procedure  if
people   or  objects   are  anywhere
near the vehicle. During the rocking
operation the vehicle may suddenly
move  forward   of  backward   as  it
becomes  unstuck,  causing   injury
or  damage   to   nearby  people   or
objects.
tion    with
depressed.
the
accelerator
pedal
Never  move  the   shift  lever  into  "P"
when the vehicle is in motion.
Be   sure  the   vehicle   is  completely
stopped before you attempt to shift into
R (Reverse) or D (Drive).
WARNING
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.
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.
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 vehicle.
Avoid high  speeds when  corner-
ing or turning.
•  Do   not    make   quick    steering
wheel movements, such as sharp
lane changes or fast, sharp turns.
Moving up a steep grade from a stand-
ing start
•  The   risk  of   rollover  is   greatly
increased  if  you lose  control  of
your vehicle at highway speeds.
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.
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 moving.
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.
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.
When  accelerating from  a  stop on  a
steep hill, the vehicle may  have a ten-
dency to  roll backwards.  Shifting the
shift  lever  into 2  (Second  Gear)  will
help  prevent the  vehicle  from rolling
backwards.
Never  exceed posted  speed lim-
its.
