o Never take the vehicle out of gear and coast
down a hill. This is extremely hazardous.
Always leave the vehicle in gear.
o Don't "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 the car.
o Slow down before shifting to a lower gear.
This will help avoid over-running the engine,
which can cause damage.
o Slow down when you encounter cross winds.
This gives you much better control of your
car.
o Be sure the vehicle is completely stopped
before you attempt to shift into reverse. The
transmission can be damaged if you do not.
To shift into reverse, depress the clutch,
move the shift lever to neutral, wait three
seconds, then shift to the reverse position.
o 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
engine speed can cause the drive wheels to
lose traction and the vehicle to go out of
control.
