11.Avoid jerky starts, sudden accel-
eration or sudden stops.
12.Avoid sharp turns and rapid lane
changes.
13.Avoid holding the brake pedal down
too long or too frequently. This could
cause the brakes to overheat, re-
sulting in reduced braking efficiency.
14.When going down a hill, shift into a
lower gear and use the engine brak-
ing effect.
When ascending a long grade,
downshift the transaxle to a lower
gear and reduce speed to reduce
chances of engine overloading and/
or overheating.
15.If you have to stop while going
uphill, do not hold the vehicle in
place by pressing on the accelera-
tor. This can cause the automatic
transaxle to overheat. Use the park-
ing brake or footbrake.
NOTE:
When towing check transaxle fluid
more frequently.
