Good driving practices
Never shift to P (Park) or N(Neutral) to any other position with
the accelerator pedal depressed.
Never shift to 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 to N (Neutral) when driving. Doing so may result in anaccident.
Do not drive with your foot resting on the brake pedal. Even light, butconsistent pedal pressure can
result in the brakes overheating,
brake wear and possibly even
brake failure.
Always apply the parking brake when leaving the vehicle. Do notdepend on placing the gear in P
(Park) to keep the vehicle from
moving. 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 vehicle speed can cause the
drive wheels to lose traction and
may cause loss of vehicle controlresulting in an accident
Optimum vehicle performance and economy is obtained by smoothlydepressing and releasing the
accelerator.
