(g) Parking
1. Bring the vehicle to a complete stop.
2. With the brake pedal pressed down,
fully depress the parking brake pedal
to apply the parking brake securely.
3. With the brake pedal pressed down,
shift the selector lever to the "P" posi-
tion.
Never attempt to move the selector
lever into "P" position under any cir-
cumstances while the vehicle is mov-
ing. Serious mechanical damage and
loss of vehicle control may result.
(h) Good driving practice
D
If the transmission repeatedly shifts up
and down between third gear and over-
drive when climbing a gentle slope, the
overdrive should be turned off. Be sure
to turn the switch on immediately after-
ward.
D
When towing a trailer, in order to main-
tain engine braking efficiency, do not
use overdrive.
102
Always keep your foot on the brake
pedal while stopped with the engine
running. This prevents the vehicle
from creeping.
CAUTION
Always use the brake pedal or the
parking brake to hold the vehicle on
an upgrade. Do not attempt to hold
the vehicle using the accelerator ped-
al, as this can cause the transmission
to overheat.
(i) If you cannot shift the selector le-
ver out of "P" position
If you cannot shift the selector lever from
the "P" position even though the brake
pedal is depressed, use the shift lock
override button. For instructions, see "If
you cannot shift automatic transmission
selector lever" on page 232 in Section 4.
