Driving your vehicle
Good driving practices
•  Always use  the parking  brake. Do not
depend on  placing  the transaxle  in P
(Park) to keep the vehicle from moving.
WARNING
Never move the gear shift lever from P
(Park) or N (Neutral) to any other posi-
•  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.
Avoid high  speeds when  corner-
ing or turning.
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.

depressed.
Never move the  gear 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).

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
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 vehicle.
•  The   risk  of   rollover  is   greatly
increased  if  you lose  control  of
your vehicle at highway speeds.
•  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.
Slow  down before  shifting  to a  lower
gear.  Otherwise, the  lower  gear  may
not be engaged.
Never  exceed posted  speed lim-
its.
