Driving your vehicle
•
Do not slide down (or coast down)
the vehicle on a slope out of gear.
This is extremely hazardous. Keep
the vehicle in gear at all times,
depress the brake pedal to slow
down, and then shift to a lower
gear so that engine braking will
help you maintain a safe speed.
Do not "ride" the brake pedal.
Resting your foot on the brake
pedal, while driving, is dangerous
because it may result brake over-
heating or lose braking effects. It
also wears out the brake compo-
nents.
• Under some conditions, your park-
ing brake may freeze in the
engaged position.This is most like-
ly to happen, when there is an
accumulation of snow or ice
around or near the rear brakes, or
when the brake is wet. When there
is a risk that the parking brake may
freeze, temporarily depress the
brake pedal while locating the shift
lever(automatic transmission) in
P(Park) and block the rear wheels.
Thus, the vehicle may not roll.
Then, release the parking brake.
•
•
• Do not hold the vehicle on a slope
by depressing the accelerator. This
may overheat the transmission.
Always use the brake pedal or
parking brake.
If a tire goes flat while driving, gen-
tly depress the brake pedal. Keep
the driving direction straight ahead
while slowing down the speed.
When
the
speed
is
lowered
enough to be safe, pull off and stop
the vehicle in a safe place.

•
When your vehicle is equipped
with an automatic transmission, do
not let your car creep forward. To
avoid creeping forward, firmly
depress the brake pedal when
stopping the vehicle.
Be careful when parking on a
slope. Firmly set the parking brake
and place the shift lever in P(Park).
When parking the vehicle on a
downward slope, steer the front
wheels sideways (into the curbs) to
prevent the vehicle from rolling.
When parking the vehicle on an
upwards, turn the front wheels
sideways (away from the curb) to
prevent the vehicle from rolling.
If there is no curb, or if it is required
by other conditions, block the
wheels with obstacles to keep the
vehicle from rolling.
