WARNING
• Do not downshift your manual
transaxle by two or more gear
positions at a time.
This prevents damage to your
transaxle or loss of control and per-
sonal injuries.
NOTE
Use of engine compression during
long mountainous descents may pro-
long the life of your brakes.

STOPPING THE VEHICLE

For automatic transaxle, the selector le-
ver can be left in the chosen drive range
with the engine running. When stopping
on hills, engage the parking brake or
press the brake pedal. Do not hold the
vehicle in place by pressing the accel-
erator.
Switch the engine off if stopping for
lengthy periods of time, as in traffic
jams or at railroad crossings.
When you park, place the selector le-
ver in P (A/T) or neutral (M/T), apply
the parking brake, and remove the key
from the ignition switch.

PARKING THE VEHICLE

Hold the brake pedal down and firmly
apply the parking brake.
For vehicles with a manual transaxle:
1. Parking on level ground, place the
gearshift lever in neutral.
2. On a downhill grade, place the gear-
shift lever in reverse.
3. On an uphill grade, place the gear-
shift lever in first gear.
For vehicles with an automatic
transaxle:
1. Move the selector lever to P.
2. Turn the ignition key to LOCK and
remove the key.
