Parking
[DR04600(ALL)03/94]
Always come to a complete stop before you shift
into P (Park). Make sure that the shift selector
lever is securely latched in P (Park). This locks
the transaxle and prevents the front wheels from
rotating.
*
[DR04700(ALL)05/95]
RWARNING
Always set the parking brake fully and
make sure that the gearshift is securely
latched in P (Park).

*
[DR09100(ALL)01/95]
Steering Your Vehicle
[DR09200(ALL)01/94]
Your vehicle is equipped with power steering.
Power steering uses energy from the engine to
help steer your vehicle.
%*
[DR09250(ALL)04/95]
If the amount of effort needed to steer your
vehicle changes at a constant vehicle speed, have
the power steering system checked. If the power
steering system breaks down (or if the engine is
turned off), you can steer the vehicle manually
but it takes more effort.
*
[DR09300(ALL)01/95]
Never hold the steering wheel to the extreme
right or left for more than five seconds if the
engine is running. This can damage the power
steering pump.
*

[DR09600(ALL)01/95]
Applying the Brakes
*
[DR09700(ALL)05/95]
Your vehicle may have four-wheel power
anti-lock disc brakes which adjust automatically
through everyday use.
*
[DR09750(ALL)05/95]
Some models have power front disc brakes and
rear drum brakes which automatically adjust as
the brake pads and linings wear down.

*
[DR10800(ALL)11/91]

vehicle is in motion, you can make an
emergency stop with the parking brake,
however, the stopping distance will be much
greater than normal.

RWARNING
To prevent personal injury, do not release
the parking brake while outside the
vehicle.
*
[DR11200(ALL)05/95]
RWARNING
Always set the parking brake fully and
make sure that the gearshift is securely
latched in P (Park) (automatic transaxle) or
in 1 (First) (manual transaxle).
*
[DR11400(ALL)03/95]
Always check the Brake Warning Light each
time you start your engine. Driving with the
parking brake on will cause the brakes to wear
out quickly and will reduce the fuel economy.
*
[DR11500(ALL)01/93]
RWARNING
If the parking brake is fully released, but
the Brake System light remains on, have
the brakes checked immediately. They
may not be working properly.
*
[DR11600(ALL)01/95]
The parking brake is not designed to stop a
moving vehicle, but you can use the parking
brake to stop your vehicle in an emergency if
the normal brakes fail. However, since the
parking brake applies only the rear brakes, the
stopping distance will increase greatly and the
handling of your vehicle will be adversely
affected.
