Good driving practices

• Never move the shift lever from P
(Park) or N (Neutral) to any other
position with the accelerator pedal
depressed.
• Never move the 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).
• Never take the vehicle out of gear
and coast down a hill. This may
be extremely hazardous. Always
leave the vehicle in gear when
moving.
• Do not "ride" the brakes. This
can cause them to overheat and
malfunction. 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.
• Slow down before shifting to a
lower gear. Otherwise, the lower
gear may not be engaged.
• Always use the parking brake.
Do not depend on placing the
transmission in P (Park) to keep
the vehicle 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.
