Good Driving Practices

• Never shift the gear from P (Park) or N
(Neutral) to any other position with the
accelerator pedal depressed.
• Never shift the gear 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).
• Do not shift the gear to N (Neutral)
when driving. If the gear is shifted to N
(Neutral) while driving, the vehicle
loses the ability to provide engine
braking. Doing so may increase the risk
of an accident.
Also, shifting the gear back to D (Drive)
while the vehicle is moving may
severely damage the transmission.
• When driving uphill or downhill, always
shift to D (Drive) for driving forward or
shift to R (Reverse) for driving
rearwards. After selecting D (Drive) or R
(Reverse), check the gear position
indicated on the cluster before driving.
If the vehicle moves in the opposite
direction of the selected gear, the
engine may turn off and affect braking
performance that may lead to a serious
accident.
• Do not drive with your foot resting on
the brake pedal. Even light, but
consistent pedal pressure can result in
the brakes overheating, brake wear and
possibly even brake failure.
• When driving in manual mode, slow
down before shifting to a lower gear.
Otherwise, the lower gear may not be
engaged if the engine RPMs are outside
of the allowable range.
• Always apply the parking brake when
leaving the vehicle. Do not depend on
placing the transmission in P (Park) to
keep the vehicle from moving.
