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, slowdown and shift to a lower gear. When you dothis, 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 yourcar.
o Be sure the vehicle is completely stopped before you attempt to shift into reverse. Thetransmission can be damaged if you do not.To shift into reverse, depress the clutch,move the shift lever to neutral, wait threeseconds, then shift to the reverse position.
o Exercise extreme caution when driving on a slippery surface. Be especially careful whenbraking, accelerating or shifting gears. On a slippery surface, an abrupt change in engine speed can cause the drive wheels tolose traction and the vehicle to go out ofcontrol.

The clutch should be pressed all the way to the floor before shifting, then released slowly. Donot rest your foot on the clutch pedal whiledriving. This can cause unnecessary wear. Do not partially engage the clutch to hold the vehicle on an incline. This causes unnecessarywear. Use the parking brake to hold the vehicle on an incline. Do not operate the clutch pedal rapidlyand repeatedly.

3-8 When the overdrive switch is turned on, the transmission will automatically upshift to thesecond, third and overdrive gears. When theoverdrive switch is turned off, the transmissionwill not upshift to the overdrive gear at all. For normal driving, the selector lever should be left in the "D" position and the overdrive switchturned on. To move the selector lever, the pushbutton on the selector lever handle may have tobe depressed first. If you need to accelerate rapidly, press the accelerator pedal all the way to the floor. Thetransmission will automatically shift to a lowergear, depending on the speed.

o Never move the gear selector lever from "P"
or "N" to any other position with the accel- erator pedal depressed.
o Never move the gear selector lever into "P" when the vehicle is in motion.
o Be sure the vehicle is completely stopped before you attempt to shift into "R".
o Never take the vehicle out of gear and coast down a hill. This may be extremely hazard-ous. Always leave the vehicle in gear whenmoving.
o Do not "ride" the brakes. This can cause them to overheat and malfunction. Instead,when you are driving down a long hill, slowdown and shift to a lower gear. When you dothis, engine braking will help slow the car.
o Slow down before shifting to a lower gear. Otherwise, the lower gear may not be en-gaged.
o Always use the parking brake. Do not de- pend on placing the transmission in "P" tokeep the vehicle from moving.
o Exercise extreme caution when driving on a slippery surface. Be especially careful whenbraking, accelerating or shifting gears. On a slippery surface, an abrupt change in engine speed can cause the drive wheels tolose traction and the vehicle to go out ofcontrol.
o Do not hold the vehicle on the upgrade with the accelerator pedal. This can cause the transmission to overheat. Always use thebrake pedal or parking brake.
