Never take the vehicle out of gear and

extremely hazardous. Always leave the
car in gear when moving.
Do not "ride" the brakes. This can

down a long hill, slow down and shift to
a lower gear. When you do this, engine
braking will help slow down the vehicle.

increased if you lose control of
your vehicle at highway speeds.

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-
