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 car is completely
stopped before you attempt to
shift into R (Reverse) or D (Drive).
• Never take the car 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
malfunction. Instead, when you
are driving down a long hill, slow
down and shift to a lower gear.
