Driving your vehicle
•
Always use the parking brake. Do not
depend on placing the transaxle in P
(Park) to keep the car 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.

Do not attempt this procedure if

move forward or backward as it
becomes unstuck, causing injury
or damage to nearby people or
objects.
